Résumé:
Balancing environmental, social, economic, and aesthetic concerns, sustainable design has the potential to transform everyday life and is already reshaping the fields of architecture and product design. "Beyond green : toward a sustainable art" explores the influence of this design philosophy on an emerging generation of international artists who combine a fresh aesthetic sensibility with a constructively critical approach to the production, dissemination, and display of art. This catalogue's exhibition includes existing works, commissions, and previously presented work that has been “recycled,” spotlighting ways in which artists are building paths to new forms of practice. The exhibition is curated by Stephanie Smith, curator at the Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago, and is co-organized by iCI and the Smart Museum. It is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with artist interviews, and essays by Smith and by design historian Victor Margolin.

Résumé:
This incisive look at the historical, social, and economic forces that have shaped China's modern architecture analyzes the country's struggle to define its own architectural aesthetics. Since the early 1980s, when China opened its doors to international trade and tourism, the country's economy has expanded at an incredible rate. Today, China is poised to be a testing ground for the world's most innovative designers and engineers. Layla Dawson's groundbreaking survey of architectural currents in China lays out not only the historical events that have brought the country to this unique position, but explores the challenges inherent in opening up the country to outside forces and ideas. She examines projects by Chinese and non-Chinese architects, including Zaha Hadid's Soho City masterplan, Rem Koolhaas's CCTV Headquarters, Norman Foster's Shanghai Tower and plans for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. As Dawson demonstrates how conflicting architectural philosophies are visible in China's newly rising skyline, she takes an unblinking look at the liabilities China faces by opening itself up to foreign influence.

Résumé:
The British installation artist Rachel Whiteread does deliberately what the lava of Pompeii did naturally. She casts whole rooms or architectural details to create a sculptural reversal, places and objects which both literally and figuratively leave an impression and occupy space firmly even in their immateriality. The four series presented here on the theme of the "house" transform the functional qualities of surrounding architecture into aura-filled works of art. They comprise early and new works, providing a useful overview of this aspect of Whiteread's notable career. Four essays by well-known critics illuminate the principles behind her work to go along with over 50 color illustrations.

Résumé:
Dan Graham (1942), one of the major neo avant-garde figures since the Second World War, is internationally recognized for his work in public spaces. Graham was invited to Como to take part in the centenary celebration of the birth of Giuseppe Terragni. For the occasion, he installed a pavilion entitled "Half square/half crazy" on the square in front of the Casa del Fascio. For Graham, the pavilion is a tool to critically fathom modern architecture. It is an instrument for studying the rapport between the interior (private) and exterior (public) environment as well as a way to examine the relationship of the individual to the urban scheme. His architectural structure moves from contemplative object to meeting point: a place of exchange and reflection. This volume presents an exhaustive documentation of the Como pavilion together with a selection of recent works by Dan Graham and two interviews with the artist. The dvd included records the course of the Como pavilion from its construction to inauguration.

At the core of Fulton’s practice are the experiences he accumulates during his perambulations, which he records in photographs, pictograms, and texts. The exploration of self and the encounter with nature become one and the same. "Keep moving" resulted from a period of time the artist spent in the Corvara region of the Dolomites in the summer of 2004, during which he went on eight day-long walks and a guided climb, using a small mountain hut as his base. Contributing an essay here is legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner, with whom Fulton hiked the imagined trail followed by Ötzi the Iceman, whose 5,000-year-old skeleton was recently discovered in the South Tyrol.

Together with Snake (1994–97), the work that Serra created for the museum’s grand opening, the sculptures create a permanent, site-specific installation of a scale and ambition unrivalled in modern history. Through a revealing interview-essay by Hal Foster, and writings and statements by the artist about his recent series Torqued Ellipses and the present, unprecedented commission, the book discloses the last 25 years of this sculptor’s oeuvre and the evolution of his sculptural vocabulary as it relates to this installation. Other writings by Carmen Giménez and a chronology by Kate Nesin help contextualize Serra’s work.

Résumé:
An investigation into Shanghai’s rise from peripheral port to urban center. Even before the romanticized golden era of Shanghai in the 1930s, the famed Asian city was remarkable for its uniqueness and East-meets-West cosmopolitanism. Meng Yue analyzes a century-long shift of urbanity from China’s heartland to its shore. During the period between the decline of Jiangnan cities such as Suzhou and Yangzhou and Shanghai’s early twentieth-century rise, the overlapping cultural edges of a failing Chinese royal order and the encroachment of Western imperialists converged. Simultaneously appropriating and resisting imposing forces, Shanghai opened itself to unruly, subversive practices, becoming a crucible of creativity and modernism. Calling into question conventional ways of conceptualizing modernity, colonialism, and intercultural relations, Meng Yue examines such cultural practices as the work of the commercial press, street theater, and literary arts, and shows that what appear to be minor cultural changes often signal the presence of larger political and economic developments. Engaging theories of modernity and postcolonial and global cultural studies, Meng Yue reveals the paradoxical interdependence between imperial and imperialist histories and the retranslation of culture that characterized the most notable result of China’s urban relocation—the emergence of the international city of Shanghai.
