Public Art in Africa examines the role and the impact of art on urban transformation through the introduction of a wide range of contemporary artworks created since 1991 in the Cameroonian city of Douala. These artworks were produced as part of the activities of doual'art, which holds the Salon Urbain Douala (SUD) every three years and is at the very core of the experience of public art in the city. A 'catalogue raisonné' introduces the reader to a variety of works including monumental and architectural artworks, urban design installations, sculptures, graffiti, murals, happenings, performances and other artistic projects closely tied to the local communities and the urban fabric of Douala. This volume also gives privileged access to the committed point of view of Cameroonian and international artists, as well as museum directors, curators and art critics who are heavily involved in the city's artistic scene.

Depuis une dizaine d'année, Raphaël Zarka collectionne les photographies de skateurs sur des œuvres d'art public publiées dans des magazines ou sur des sites Internet consacrés au skateboard. En 74 images, Riding Modern Art regroupe 48 sculpteurs et 66 skateurs documentés par 43 photographes aux quatre coins du monde. Il s'agit pour Raphaël Zarka d'une réflexion sur la sculpture dans le cadre d'un questionnement plus général sur la notion d'espace public et des "pratiques d'espaces" des habitants, proche des réflexions de Michel de Certeau (L'Invention du Quotidien, I : Arts de faire, Gallimard, 1990).

"Public space" is a potent and contentious topic among artists, architects, and cultural producers. Public Space? Lost and Found considers the role of aesthetic practices within the construction, identification, and critique of shared territories, and how artists or architects-the "antennae of the race"-can heighten our awareness of rapidly changing formulations of public space in the age of digital media, vast ecological crises, and civic uprisings. Public Space? Lost and Found combines significant recent projects in art and architecture with writings by historians and theorists. Contributors investigate strategies for responding to underrepresented communities and areas of conflict through the work of Marjetica Potrč in Johannesburg and Teddy Cruz on the Mexico-U.S. border, among others. They explore our collective stakes in ecological catastrophe through artistic research such as atelier d'architecture autogérée's hubs for community action and recycling in Colombes, France, and Brian Holmes's theoretical investigation of new forms of aesthetic perception in the age of the Anthropocene. Inspired by artist and MIT professor Antoni Muntadas' early coining of the term "media landscape," contributors also look ahead, casting a critical eye on the fraught impact of digital media and the internet on public space.
