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:
By 2004, Roadsworth had pulled off close to 300 pieces of urban art on the streets of Montreal. In the fall, he was charged with 51 counts of public mischief. It seemed to signal the end of his career. Instead the citizens of Montreal and lovers of his work from around the world rallied their support. A year later he was let off with a slap on the wrist. Since then, Roadsworth has developed as an artist, continuing to intervene in public spaces and to travel the world, executing commissioned work for organizations such as Cirque de Soleil, The Lost O (cycled over in le tour de France), and for municipalities, exhibitions, and arts festivals. In this playful and sometimes subversive book, featuring more than 450 reproductions of his unmistakable work, Roadsworth takes the urban landscape and turns its constituent elements on their heads, both indicting our culture's excesses and celebrating what makes us human (lest we forget).

Résumé:
Sidewalks Conflict and Negotiation over Public Space Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and Renia Ehrenfeucht Urban sidewalks, critical but undervalued public spaces, have been sites for political demonstrations and urban greening, promenades for the wealthy and the well-dressed, and shelterless shelters for the homeless. On sidewalks, decade after decade, urbanites have socialized, paraded, and played, sold their wares, and observed city life. These many uses often overlap and conflict, and urban residents and planners try to include some and exclude others. In this first book-length analysis of the sidewalk as a distinct public space, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and Renia Ehrenfeucht examine the evolution of the American urban sidewalk and trace conflicts that have arisen over its competing uses. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples as well as case study research and archival data from five cities--Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Seattle--they discuss the characteristics of sidewalks as small urban public spaces, and such related issues as the ambiguous boundaries of their “public” status, contestation over specific uses, control and regulations, and the implications for First Amendment speech and assembly rights.

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.
