Abstract

"Public art is on the urban agenda. Given recent claims about the importance of creativity to urban prosperity, opportunities for installing or performing art in the city have multiplied. As cities strive to appear culturally dynamic, the stakes of artistic production rise higher than ever. Exploring the interactions between art and the public in Canadian cities, Urban Encounters features writing by artists, architects, curators, anthropologists, geographers, and urban studies specialists. They show how people and places affect the structure and content of public artworks, what kinds of urban spaces and socialities are generated through art, and how to investigate and interpret encounters between art and its viewers in the city. Discussing a variety of art forms, including mobile cinemas, street improvisation, audiovisual investigations, and assembled objects, the contributors treat public artworks not just as aesthetic installations, but as agents that participate in the social and cultural evolution of cities. Using original, hands-on approaches, Urban Encounters reveals how art in the urban public generates encounters that can transform both the city itself and the ways that people relate to it."--

Abstract

Une vue d'ensemble de l'œuvre de l'artiste-photographe suisse le plus cosmopolite sur les 15 dernières années, dont les grandes installations célèbres sur panneaux d'affichage et vitrines de façades de bâtiments publics, ainsi qu'une sélection de projections de diapositives et de vidéos. Les photographies des installations, réalisées pour la plupart par Streuli lui-même, témoignent du rejet du contexte muséal classique par un artiste qui rend les photographies à leur lieu d'origine, l'espace public.

Abstract

"Ornamental, architectural and large-scale ceramic works have always appeared on buildings and in the landscape since the beginnings of civilization. This book looks at the vast array of ceramics being produced today around the world in this context. The book divides work up into themes such as symbolism, pattern and geometry, architecture, nature and the human figure, and is focused on the aesthetics and relevance of work in relation to its location. Beautifully designed and illustrated, the works of more than 100 ceramicists are featured, showing the finished work in situ, as well as discussing the issues surrounding the construction of these ambitious and monumental projects"--

Abstract

Tomlinson presents studies of selected ancient cities, ranging from the earliest development of urban architecture in Europe to the imperial cities of Rome and Constantinople. It gives an account of their architecture, not merely from the art historical point of view, but as an expression of the social organisation, and political systems employed by the people who lived in them
