Résumé:
Maya Lin is the designer of the starkly symbolic Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., done when she was still an undergraduate. In "Boundaries", Lin's lucid, soft-spoken collection of writings, she discusses how her work evolves, after a lengthy gestation, as a way of heightening viewers' awareness of a specific environment and perception of the passage of time. This temporal aspect can be a sequence of historical events (as in the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama) or a purely aesthetic quality, like the shifting play of light over a grassy field of sculpted earth (Wave Field at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor). "I like to think of my work as creating a private conversation with each person," Lin writes, "no matter how public each work is and no matter how many people are present."

Résumé:
This richly illustrated monograph looks at André Volten's stylistic development by examining a large number of works from his sculptural output. The writers also consider Volten's significance to sculpture in the Netherlands and on the international art scene, as well as discussing his development of the Constructivist aesthetic. Since the 1950s, André Volten (b. 1925) has made an exceptional contribution to sculpture in public space, and examples of his prolific output can be seen in the Netherlands and beyond. He has also been an important protagonist in the debate about the need for art within the public domain. The integration of architecture and visual art, as seen in Volten's work, demonstrates how these two disciplines can complement and invigorate each other.

Résumé:
By the 1990s, public art had evolved far beyond the lonely monument on an open plaza. Now public artists might design the entire plaza, create an event to alter the social dynamics of an urban environment, or help to reconstruct a neighborhood. Dialogues in Public Art presents a rich blend of interviews with the people who create and experience public art--from an artist who mounted three bronze sculptures in the South Bronx to the bureaucrat who led the fight to have them removed; from an artist who describes his work as a "cancer" on architecture to a pair of architects who might agree with him; from an artist who formed a coalition to convert twenty-two derelict row houses into an art center/community revitalization project to a young woman who got her life back on track while living in one of the converted houses. The twenty interviews are divided into four parts: Controversies in Public Art, Experiments in Public Art as Architecture and Urban Planning, Dialogues on Dialogue-Based Public Art Projects, and Public Art for Public Health. Tom Finkelpearl's introductory essay provides a concise overview of changing attitudes toward the city as the site of public art. Interviewees: Vito Acconci, John Ahearn, David Avalos, Denise Scott Brown, Rufus L. Chaney, Mel Chin, Douglas Crimp, Paulo Freire, Andrew Ginzel, Linnea Glatt, Louis Hock, Ron Jensen, Kristin Jones, Maya Lin, Rick Lowe, Jackie McLean, Frank Moore, Jagoda Przybylak, Assata Shakur, Michael Singer, Elizabeth Sisco, Arthur Symes, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Robert Venturi, Krzysztof Wodiczko.

Résumé:
Out of Place is a group show bringing together eleven European artists who use the urban landscape as a source of creativity, whether through remembering places with a strong personal association, transforming the reality of a city or inventing entirely imaginary places. As so many cities undergo change and regeneration, artists make personal responses to the flux and history of urban life, looking at its lesser-loved and forgotten areas and constructing entire imaginary cities.

Résumé:
Since the sixties, the American artist Keith Sonnier has introduced light into his sculptures and installations. In collaboration with architects Baumschlager & Eberle, Sonnier has recently created a light installation for an underground passage in the Munich Re Group building. Neon lighting bathes the corridors in intense colour, thereby taking on a spatial quality. For the new parish church of St. Franciscus in Steyr-Resthof in Upper Austria by the architects Riepl & Rieple, Sonnier developed an all-embracing concept whereby light is the sign of a liturgical venue and constitutes the focal point of an entire neighbourhood.

Résumé:
The newly founded gallery Haunch of Venison inaugurates its opening with an exhibition by internationally acclaimed sculptor Rachel Whiteread. The exhibition and accompanying publication feature Whiteread's newest work, Untitled (Domestic), a massive sculpture cast from the fire escape staircases of Haunch of Venison's premises--a 3-storey building constructed in the late 18th century that was originally the home of Admiral Lord Nelson. Reincarnating the staircase in its negative form, the imposing white sculpture invokes the building's past while reflecting the artist's interest in the formal and purely architectural qualities of sculpture. This inaugural publication features installation views of the exhibition, including additional work dating from 1995 to the present day, as well as two amply illustrated essays and a complete bibliography. The first text considers Whiteread's immense public commissions in relation to their environment; the second outlines the history and techniques involved in creating the cast staircase sculptures.

Résumé:
Over the past decade installation art has achieved mainstream status within contemporary visual culture. Its ubiquitous presence has given rise to new terms that redefine the art form and impact not just on art, but also on international fashion shows, movie design, and club culture. This volume surveys how installation has evolved, embracing often unexpected media, and its far-reaching influence worldwide. The new "immersive" installation reflects a desire for sensual pleasure, as the viewer is totally enveloped in a hermetic and narcissistic artwork, as illustrated by the American artist Doug Aitken and the Japanese artist Kazuo Katase, among others. New dynamics have developed between the artist and institutions, and installation is more than ever an open-ended experiment that transforms the museum into a cultural laboratory, as seen in the work of Hans Haacke. Installation refuses to accept fixed boundaries, and practitioners, such as the Mexican Jose Dávila, are now looking to forge relationships on a global level, collaborating with specialists in other non-art areas. In a rapidly changing world, time and memory become key concerns, and artists such as Christian Boltanksi and Damien Hirst prefer to construct their own spaces of memory. The culmination of these processes has made the audience itself the key site of the installation as witnessed in the works of Vanessa Beecroft, Gary Hill, Mariko Mori, and Bill Viola. This astonishing process returns us to the body, to the spectator, a space that is both sentient and active, the "empire of the senses."

Résumé:
Since the 1990's, Olafur Eliasson has been exploring cognitive and physical phenomena as we know them from the natural sciences and nature. He uses both technically sophisticated equipment and deceptively simple means such as water or light to create artificial landscapes and moments of perception that let viewers perceive or reenact natural phenomena. Their strongly atmospheric but entirely constructed nature makes viewers become painfully conscious of how far modern civilization has progressed from immediate experience; they question the acceptance of authenticity in the area of perception. This book, published in an edition of only 1,500 copies and conceived in cooperation with the artist, features a series of landscape photographs by Eliasson from his native Iceland, exploring the limits and conventions of our traditional view of landscape. They show that our perception of nature has been fundamentally affected by cultural influences, memories, and expectations.

Résumé:
Anish Kapoor's output ranges from works on a human scale, including powdered pigment sculptures and convex mirrors, to massive installations, both inside buildings and in the landscape. Taking on the challenge of the cavernous space of the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London, Kapoor created his largest sculpture ever: built of PVC membrane, stetched taut across massive steel hoops and hovering in mid-air, the sculpture dominates the space in a way no other artist has attempted. The creative process behind this ambitious project is documented here in specially commissioned photographs, drawings, and maquettes, and further explored in conversations with Kapoor, and Cecil Balmond's essay on the process of engineering this project.
