Résumé:
A show challenging conventional understandings of public art, Culture in Action in Chicago had a new social agenda, and rethought what an exhibition of contemporary art might be. Through eight projects by artists initiated in the early 1990s and developed in collaboration with local people, the intention was to engage diverse groups over time, in addition to the visiting public in 1993. In the fifth book in Afterall's Exhibition Histories series, the course of these projects is documented, with critical reappraisal of this important exhibition in newly commissioned essays and interviews, together with reviews from the time.

Résumé:
This publication documents Helmut Jahn's oeuvre, starting in Chicago and the United States in the 1980s and expanding initially to South Africa, then to Europe, with the focus on Germany, and from there via the Middle East to China, Singapore, Japan and Korea.

An essay by architecture historian Franz Schultz explains the meaning of Jahn's oeuvre within the contemporary architecture. A text by Helmut Jahn himself comments on the philosophy behind his buildings.

Résumé:
“Swimming is a delicate balance between flying and sinking”. This quote by Burkhard Strassmann opens Julia Baier's book 'Water Matters'. Her pictures show what people do with water, and even more, how water affects people and the animals, too. Not on the whole, but in the immediate encounter. When bathing, diving, splashing and spraying, in rain, snow and ice, in the city(...)

Résumé:
“Swimming is a delicate balance between flying and sinking”. This quote by Burkhard Strassmann opens Julia Baier's book 'Water Matters'. Her pictures show what people do with water, and even more, how water affects people and the animals, too. Not on the whole, but in the immediate encounter. When bathing, diving, splashing and spraying, in rain, snow and ice, in the city and in the countryside. And like the water itself, the photographer seems to get to wherever it flows and foams, drips, bubbles and reflects – in Budapest and Bremen, in Passau and Paris, Chicago and Sovata.

Résumé:
The new World Trade Center represents one of the most complex collaborations in human history. Nearly every state in the nation, a dozen countries around the world, and more than 25,000 workers helped raise the tower, which consumed ninety million pounds of steel, one million square feet of glass, and enough concrete to pave a sidewalk from New York to Chicago. With more than seventy interviews with the people most intimately involved, and unprecedented access to the building site, suppliers, and archives, Dupré unfurls the definitive story of fourteen years of conflict and controversy-and its triumphant resolution.

Résumé:
The contributors investigate the discriminatory implementation of rules, with gentrified hipsters often receiving preferential treatment over traditional immigrants; food trucks as part of community economic development; and food trucks’ role in cultural identity formation. They describe, among other things, mobile food vending in Portland, Oregon, where relaxed permitting encourages street food; the criminalization of food trucks by Los Angeles and New York City health codes; food as cultural currency in Montreal; social and spatial bifurcation of food trucks in Chicago and Durham, North Carolina; and food trucks as a part of Vancouver, Canada’s, self-branding as the “Greenest City.”

Résumé:
Anthony Record (Florida, 1983) received his M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2008. His work has been exhibited nationally including shows in Chicago and San Francisco. His paintings and drawings challenge the boundaries of recognition and address the limits of perception. The drawings for Nature Brutal and Capricious are based on tiny passages of light and dark from found etchings. When taken out of their original context, these insignificant folds and shadows mutate into phantasmagoric figures with distinct personalities. When revisiting the found etchings, the figures haunt the original source material by becoming perceptually photoshopped into it.

Résumé:
This book explores connections between the modern city, its architecture, and its citizens, by questioning traditional conceptualizations of public and private. Rather than focusing purely on public spaces—such as streets, cafés, gardens, or department stores—or on the domestic sphere, the book investigates those spaces and practices that engage both the urban and the domestic, the public and the private. The legal, political and administrative frameworks of urban life are seen as constituting private individuals’ sense of self, in a wide range of European and world cities from Amsterdam and Barcelona to London and Chicago.
