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.

Résumé:
Une rue de Paris, à l'origine banale, appelée rue GG. L'association Arrgg, créée par des voisins, se donne pour objectif que l'ambiance locale s'en trouve améliorée. Un drôle d'urbaniste, le dénommé John Mill, accompagne le changement. La rue rendue piétonne est peu à peu plantée à même la chaussée. On organise des fêtes ouvertes à tout le monde, où se mêlent gens du cru ? habitants et coiffeurs d'origine africaine ? et les passants bien sûr... Un conte de fées urbain? Plutôt un vaudeville à la limite parfois d'être une tragédie. Car un porche se révèle très vite un des acteurs, accueillant peu à peu SDF en surnombre puis vagues de migrants. C'est cette histoire vécue d'une transformation que raconte cet ouvrage, un récit passionné des moments d'enthousiasme et des écueils surmontés.

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.

Résumé:
Artistic genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except maybe when it’s squatting inthe Tate or New York’s Metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world. Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills and umbrellas.If you look hard enough you’ll find your own. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns intelligent and cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals. His identity remains unknown, but his work is prolific. And now for the first time, he’s putting together the best of his work – old and new in a fully illustrated colour volume.

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.
