Résumé:
Building on the book "Art in a City" by John Willett, which surveyed the history of the visual arts in Liverpool, this collection of essays explores art in contemporary Liverpool and engages with the view from outside the City and outside Britain. It examines the often made but rarely challenged claim that Liverpool is ‘the most significant UK centre for art outside London’, and looks at the key institutional players, such as the Bluecoat and the Walker Art Gallery as well as all those that post-date Willett, including Tate Liverpool, Open Eye, FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), and the Liverpool Biennial. There are discussions of the role of Liverpool as an arts city from the perspective of key artists who have worked in the city; of public vs private patronage in the arts, including the extent and role of public funding; of the changing nature of public art; of the social role of the arts; and of community participation in the arts. The book has a major consideration of the role of the arts in city regeneration and of the concept of ‘the creative industries’.

Snyder’s “the kids are alright” assessment, buttressed by many examples of thrill-seeking taggers finding successful careers in art, design, publishing, and (commissioned) mural-painting, is well-articulated, convincing, and quite possibly reassuring."—Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review

Résumé:
Barcelona 1000 Graffiti is a photo-essay by Rosa Puig about graffiti in Barcelona, a city that's become a meeting place and 'concrete canvas' for graffitists from all over the world. The wide range of graffiti documented in this work is scattered throughout the city, a cause of astonishment and admiration for some, of concern for the authorities, and of despair for the owners of facades irreverently invaded under cover of darkness. The graffiti collected in this book are found in different areas of Barcelona - from the very central to the most far-flung - and offer very diverse topics and tones - by turns poetic, socially aware, dissenting - while competing with the customary visual pollution of the city and helping to enrich its landscape. The photographs reflect the surprised gaze of their author, at once captivated by 'graphic pieces' that, as she says, she 'would rip off the walls and hang in my house.'

Résumé:
La vie et l’oeuvre d’une des figures les plus appréciées et influentes du monde vibrant de l’art de la rue de ces vingt dernières années. Ce livre offre un regard d’un genre unique sur la vie et l’oeuvre de l’une des figures les plus appréciées et influentes de la scène vibrante de l’art de la rue : Blek le Rat. Célèbres dans le monde entier, les oeuvres de ce pochoiriste parisien ont profondément marqué d’innombrables street artists et n’ont de cesse d’inspirer designers graphiques et publicitaires, notamment dans le domaine de la musique. Des premiers pochoirs représentant des rats bombés sur les murs de Paris aux affiches de la journaliste Florence Aubenas en passant par les portraits de Lady Di ou de Serge Gainsbourg, c’est tout l’art révolutionnaire de Blek le Rat qui est ici montré pour la première fois - soit vingt années de création dans la rue et pour la rue. L’ouvrage présente plus de 300 oeuvres in situ magnifiquement photographiées et propose non seulement la description des techniques utilisées par Blek mais aussi une analyse de la signification de ses créations au pochoir. Acteur omniprésent de la scène de l’art urbain dans des villes aussi cosmopolites que Paris, New York, Barcelone, Buenos Aires, Londres, Taipei, Naples et Berlin, Blek le Rat, à travers ce livre, laisse enfin une trace durable de son travail qui continuera longtemps d’inspirer les amoureux de l’art de la rue.

Inclus chaque un chapitre sur SYN- et ATSA de Montréal. "Nous proposons des tactiques urbaines pour accompagner les micro-processus locaux dans les milieux urbains où les décisions sont prises au nom d'intérêts économiques privés et de mécanismes politiques centralisés inadaptés aux mobilités territoriales actuelles: globales, informelles, multiculturelles… Nous explorons la réappropriation des espaces urbains délaissés et la création de nouvelles formes d'urbanité par des aménagements réversibles, des pratiques du quotidien, par l'implication des habitants et des usagers en tant que porteurs de différents savoirs faire. Plus accessibles, ces espaces constituent un potentiel d'expérimentation urbaine et d'exploration à rebours de l'accroissement de la densité et du contrôle. Notre démarche consiste à critiquer pour libérer le désir d'agir mais aussi à rassembler des compétences partagées et des dynamiques collaboratives pour aller plus loin. En valorisant la position d'habitant et d'usager comme condition politique nous développons ensemble des outils d'appropriation symbolique des espaces de proximité et nous renforçons le pouvoir de décision et d'action des acteurs de terrain dans la ville. Ces outils incluent des réseaux trans-locaux, processus catalyseurs, architectures nomades, espaces autogérés, plates-formes de production culturelle…" Atelier d'Architecture Autogérée

Résumé:
''Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory'' reflects on the first decade of the international Concéntrico festival and the one hundred and fifty projects and designs commissioned for it. The festival’s aim is to serve as a laboratory searching for creative ways of using architecture and design to strengthen communities and to support the dialogue between designers and citizens. The book offers a unique meditation on the transformation of cities and the relevance of architecture and design in the twenty-first century. It introduces meaningful ways to address and engage with pressing urban issues—from identity and heritage to temporariness, collectivity, ecology, play, and domesticity—through the lens of selected Concéntrico commissions since 2015. Through lavishly illustrated essays, it features projects by eighty artists, architects, and designers from twenty countries. They are prefaced and held together by a conversation between the editors Javier Peña Ibáñez and Nick Axel, who speak about the festival’s context, evolution, and the knowledge it has produced since 2014.

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:
Urban Toys chronicles Nadim Karam and Atelier Hapsitus’s recent creations of relief and rebellion in the city. Working out of Beirut, they make their own rules for urban art with work that is, in the words of Peter Cook, “unnervingly original.” Projects include groundbreaking work in post-war Beirut and post-Communist Prague, sculptures for the sidewalks of London and Tokyo, a poetic project in Todaiji temple in Nara, and the Sandridge Bridge project on the Yarra River for the opening of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006. Their work in the creation of “dream pockets” has grown in importance, given the increasing number of cities that have to add violence and terror to the pressures of urban life.
