Résumé:
"PA 24 : some among them are killers" explores unmanaged landscapes, territories that the author calls "wildernesses." These emerge from the cracks of mapping the spaces, at a variety of scales, that literally reside in the margins of error of our abilities to measure and calibrate space.

Résumé:
"PA 24 : some among them are killers" explores unmanaged landscapes, territories that the author calls "wildernesses." These emerge from the cracks of mapping the spaces, at a variety of scales, that literally reside in the margins of error of our abilities to measure and calibrate space. From Yosemite National Park to the ubiquitous one-gallon milk jug, architect David Ross depicts the relationships between architecture and miscalibration and explores the spatial, tactile, and political ramifications of our reliance on modern devices of precision and overdetermination.

Rather than conceiving of bodies as constantly rendered docile within the spaces of the post-industrial nation state, "Radical Space" reveals how activists and artists have deployed these theoretical tools to examine and contest spatial practice.. Bringing together contributions from academics across the humanities and social sciences together with creative artists this dynamically multidisciplinary collection demonstrates this radicalization of space through explorations of environmental camps, new explorations of psychogeography, creative interventions in city space and mapping the extra-terrestrial onto the mundane spaces of everyday existence.

Résumé:
Research is of paramount importance as a fundamental basis for everything that museums do. This publication engages with the diverse viewpoints of authors in the vanguard of theoretical discussions and curatorial practices, mapping out the multiplicity of endeavours to reform and transform research in relation to the art museum. From new theoretical models and specific forms of practice-based investigation and knowledge production, to the potential for change by the very dynamics of research, it shows that the concept of the curatorial is constantly shifting.

Résumé:
The visibility of climate-emergency phenomena and multiplying crises results in a growing awareness of immediate and long-term repercussions of our design actions. Led by Urszula Kozminska, the project "Time matters" is a collective reflection on an open and experimental approach towards sustainability in which the idea of time is the core of investigations. It aims to showcase the power of fictional architectural narratives in stimulating new ways of mapping, designing, constructing, and communicating. Furthermore, the project promotes an architecture that evolves alongside shifting conditions and introduces its dynamics as a primary design parameter.

Résumé:
In Curious Visions of Modernity , David Martin unpacks a collection of artifacts from the visual and historicalarchives of modernity, finding in each a slippage of scientific rationality--arepressed heterogeneity within the homogenized structures of post-Enlightenment knowledge. In doing so, he exposes modernity and its visual culture as haunted byprecisely those things that rationality sought to expunge from the"enlightened" world: enchantment, magic, and wonderment. Martin traces the genealogies of what he considers three of the most distinct and historically immediate fields of modern visual culture: the collection, the body, and the mapping of spaces.

This volume is a study of the discipline of Art History. It provides a roadmap of the field by reassessing the impact of several of the most important works of art history.

Résumé:
Complex Order was born of a necessity to build a conversation around the work of spmb [São Paulo-Manitoba], in dialogue with other practitioners, artists, architects, theoreticians, and critics, mapping out the regions of understanding of what they do. Complex Order generates a public space of sorts, stretching the discussion of public space itself—its poetics and politics, its actions and representations. Rather than follow the tradition of the monograph, centred in the production of the individual artist, Complex Order rethinks the artist’s book, investigating the relationships of spmb’s work within a larger context.

Résumé:
Sixty-six objects from Ryan Gander’s collection make up his major new works Fieldwork 2015 (2015) and Fieldwork 2016 (2016). Each object passes by a window, one after another, on a constantly looping conveyor belt. A National Trust sign protecting ‘Culturefield’, a chess set, a pair of dead pigeons, a kitchen sink. Found, fabricated, everyday and exceptional, these objects may represent the richness of our existence, mapping its totality one object at a time. Through this work and a series of writings, Fieldwork serves as a reader to Gander’s on-going and ever-evolving practice.

In order to understand and improve cities today, personal observation remains as important as ever. While big data, digital mapping, and simulated cityscapes are valuable tools for understanding urban space, using them without on-the-ground, human impressions risks creating places that do not reflect authentic local context.

Résumé:
In order to understand and improve cities today, personal observation remains as important as ever. While big data, digital mapping, and simulated cityscapes are valuable tools for understanding urban space, using them without on-the-ground, human impressions risks creating places that do not reflect authentic local context. "Seeing the Better City" brings our attention back to the real world right in front of us, focusing it once more on the sights, sounds, and experiences of place in order to craft policies, plans, and regulations to shape better urban environments.
