Résumé:
When recession-plagued New York City abandoned its industrial base in the 1970s, performance artists, photographers, and filmmakers found their own mixed uses for the city's run-down lofts, abandoned piers, vacant lots, and deserted streets. Gordon Matta-Clark turned a sanitation pier into the celebrated work Day's End and Betsy Sussler filmed its making; the photographic team Shunk-Kender shot a vast series of images of Willoughby Sharp's Projects: Pier 18 (which included work by Vito Acconci, Mel Bochner, Dan Graham, Matta-Clark, and William Wegman, among others); and Cindy Sherman staged some of her Untitled Film Stills on the streets of Lower Manhattan. This publication documents and illustrates these projects as well as more recent work by artists who continue to engage with the city's public, underground, and improvised spaces. The book (which accompanies a major exhibition) focuses on several important photographic series: Peter Hujar's 1976 nighttime photographs of Manhattan's West Side; Alvin Baltrop's Hudson River pier photographs from 1975-1985, most of which have never before been shown or published; David Wojnarowicz's Rimbaud in New York (1978-1979), the first of Wojnarowicz's works to be published; and several of Zoe Leonard's photographic projects from the late 1990s on. The book includes 70 color and 130 black-and-white images, a chronology of the policy decisions and developments that altered the face of New York City from 1950 to the present; an autobiographical story by David Wojnarowicz; and essays by Johanna Burton, Lytle Shaw, Juan Suarez, and the exhibition's curators, Lynne Cooke and Douglas Crimp.

Résumé:
This special issue of Radical History Review historicizes and reconsiders the flaneur - the city stroller - as the iconic bystander to the spectacle of urban life and change, drawing perspectives from urban and public history, museum studies, geography, and sociology. One article analyzes Australian frontier towns, where notions of indigeneity are commodified for white consumers while Aborigines themselves are unwelcome. Another examines the funereal flanerie of protestors in Guatemala who stage scenes of public mourning to engage the radical power of dead bodies in public spaces. Flanerie and drifting are explored as pedagogical tools to draw students out of the controlled settings of college campuses. Contributors to this issue examine the physical experience of city walking - determined by architecture, street signs, traffic lights, and each walker's differently abled body - alongside the subtler class, racial, and historical markers that define who in city spaces is imagined to be respectable and who is dangerous.

Résumé:
Que ce soit sur les camions au Liban, dans les rues de villages du Bahrein, sur les murs criblés de balles de Palestine, le graffiti connaît un véritable essor qui s'affiche même sur les murs des métropoles occidentales ou sur des accessoires de mode comme des sacs à main. Relayé par de nombreux graffeurs qui s'exercent à la calligraphie arabe sur les espaces publics et à l'occasion d'expositions, et des jeunes designers qui créent des polices de caractères pour l'impression, le graffiti arabe exprime tantôt les souffrances d'une nation, tantôt une recherche d'identité. A Beyrouth, Gaza, Téhéran, Paris, Londres, Berlin ou Montréal, il traduit une pensée politique, sociale ou personnelle dans un style calligraphique et typographique très expressif. Véritable référence en la matière, Le graffiti arabe réunit de nombreux artistes, graffeurs et typographes du monde entier qui ont associé la calligraphie arabe au graffiti, au street-art et à la culture urbaine. L'iconographie, très riche et variée, témoigne de la vigueur de ce renouveau.

Résumé:
« Le ciel de Paris en fut-il ce matin ? Et qui complotait ? Faut-il que les choses d’en bas le modifient ? » Cela a commencé pendant la nuit et personne ne l’a remarqué : ce furent les premiers éléments. Une sorte de pou dans le mur. Des carrés de mosaïques se sont multipliés sur les façades des bâtiments. Pourquoi un individu s’est astreint à coller de la mosaïque un peu partout dans la ville, nul ne le sait. Et la police désespère. Claude-Hélène et Térence se sont mariés il y a dix ans, avec pour témoins Michèle Barret-Lauze, maître à penser de Térence, et Colin, l’homme de théâtre qui a fait partie de l’avant-garde artistique avant de s’exiler de la capitale. Un matin, Térence découvre par hasard un mur aveugle et noir qu’il n’a jamais vu, mais que Claude-Hélène connaît bien. Ce mur la replonge dans son passé, d’autant plus que Térence s’éloigne peu à peu. A-t-elle jamais réellement su qui il était ? Peut-être est-il temps pour Claude-Hélène de ressortir ses vieux projets d’intervention artistique urbaine et de les proposer au nouveau maire ? Il rêve de lancer la toute première Nuit Blanche, une nuit qui sera un perpétuel crépuscule et déjà une aurore. Mais le jour se lèvera-t-il sur la ville mosaïque ? Magistrale comédie de mœurs à l’échelle d’une ville, ce roman de Sylvie Taussig explore les moindres replis des relations humaines, ses impostures et ses rigidités ; elle y invente une œuvre libre, ironique et singulière.
