Résumé:
The international architectural competition and publication ‘Reclaiming the Street’ are part of ‘Endless City’, a long-term project of Showroom MAMA in which the relationship between skateboard culture, public space and (visual) art is being investigated. The creativity with which the skaters 'use' the city and how they question (architectural) rules, offer new perspectives on the design and use of public space by different groups of users. The call for ‘Reclaiming the Street’ was the design of an object or adaptation of urban space to be used by skateboarders and the general public, encouraging multiple uses. With a text by architectural historian Ian Borden and a chapter from Jocko Weyland’s ‘The Answer is Never’.

Résumé:
Première étude détaillée consacrée à l'histoire d'un art qui se crée dans la rue depuis plus de quarante ans et ne cesse de modifier notre expérience de la ville, Street art et graffiti dresse le portrait de cette pratique artistique. Comprendre le graffiti, sa philosophie, ses techniques et son vocabulaire est d'autant plus essentiel que cet art, fondé sur la clandestinité et l'anonymat, ne s'adresse pas a priori au grand public. Connaître son évolution permet de comprendre en quoi il a ouvert la voie au street art - pratique éminemment protéiforme qui souvent conjugue contestation et poésie et fait désormais partie, comme le graffiti, de l'art de notre temps. Banksy, Blek le Rat, Faile, Invader, Miss Van, Os Gêmeos, Shepard Fairey ou encore Swoon sont quelques-uns des graffeurs et street artists dont les créations sont analysées dans cet ouvrage qui s'adresse à tous les curieux de culture visuelle contemporaine.

Résumé:
A collection of photographs of Banksy’s street work. Banksy — You Are An Acceptable Level of Threat concentrates on this singular artist’s iconic imagery, spanning the late ’90s up until the end of 2011.The locations are from around the world (predominantly the UK, US and Europe), and many images have never been seen before. When Banksy started out painting, the political landscape was bleak. Fortunately now, it’s ten times worse. As Banksy’s cheerfully aggressive political work becomes ever more relevant, this comprehensive tome sets about presenting his art in the context of the era he was responding to.

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.
