Tout aussi lacunaire qu'elle puisse être, cette chronologie du skateboard est, sans précédant, le seul ouvrage sur ce thème disponible en langue française.

How is being a professional skateboarder different from being, say, a professional golfer? Veteran skate journalist and the former editor of SkateBoarder magazine, Sean Mortimer has interviewed the top skaters of all time to answer that question in meaningful and often humorous ways.

Résumé:
Urban Illustration features the most stunning and innovative street art from Berlin, where unknown local heroes and famous international street artists share a common canvas. In the course of documenting over 500 of the best examples of art work in the streets of this dynamic German capital, the book transcends it's core function as a city guide and becomes a magic carpet for armchair travelers and street art officionados alike. With a focus on popular techniques such as stencils, cutouts, markers and wheatpaste, the author Benjamin Wolbergs documents the diverse styles of artists including D*Face from London, Faile and Swoon from New York and Fuck Your Crew from Berlin, just to name a few. In addition to the images, 17 in-depth interviews give detailed information about the artists backgrounds and methods. A separate City map leads the way to the locations in the heart of Berlin where author Benjamin Wolbergs took his fascinating photographs, and where new street art is waiting to be discovered daily.

Résumé:
Skateboarders are an increasingly common feature of the urban environment - recent estimates total 40 million world-wide. We are all aware of their often extraordinary talent and manoeuvres on the city streets. This book is the first detailed study of the urban phenomenon of skateboarding. It looks at skateboarding history from the surf-beaches of California in the 1950s, through the purpose-built skateparks of the 1970s, to the street-skating of the present day and shows how skateboarders experience and understand the city through their sport. Dismissive of authority and convention, skateboarders suggest that the city is not just a place for working and shopping but a true pleasure-ground, a place where the human body, emotions and energy can be expressed to the full.

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:
Trafic routier, nuisances sonores, pollution de l'air, globalisation de l'offre commerciale, cloisonnement des espaces et des usages, 'la plus belle avenue du monde' est contrariée. Ses places et ses jardins, désertés par les Parisiens, doivent aujourd'hui engager leur mutation et permettre à chacun de se réapproprier ce patrimoine exceptionnel. Au-delà des questions urbaines, les enjeux du nouveau régime climatique doivent présider à cette transformation. Les défis sont nombreux : diminuer le nombre et l'intensité des îlots de chaleur, rendre les sols plus perméables ; libérer, unifier et augmenter les espaces verts ; favoriser les mobilités douces ; valoriser le patrimoine existant ; construire sans consommer davantage ; continuer à croître sans aggraver la dette environnementale, inventer de nouveaux types de financements et de partenariats... L'étude ''Champs-Elysées, histoire & perspectives'', menée par l'agence PCA-STREAM à l'initiative du Comité Champs-Elysées, engage la relecture de la construction urbaine et symbolique de ce territoire. Elle en fait le diagnostic au regard des problématiques locales et des enjeux contemporains pour offrir une vision nouvelle, qui s'appuie sur le travail collaboratif d'une large équipe d'experts internationaux - chercheurs, historiens, acteurs économiques et culturels, scientifiques, artistes... Les attendus et calculs démontrent la faisabilité de cette transformation et, par anticipation, la possible évolution des espaces publics et touristiques dans les métropoles de demain.
