Alighiero Boetti : Game Plan / concept and direction Lynne Cooke ; editors Mark Godfrey, Chriatian Rattemeyer. - London : Tate Publishing, 2012. - 280 p. : ills. ; 28 cm
Alighiero Boetti (1940-1994) was originally associated with the Arte Povera group in Turin, in the 1960s he made works using materials sourced in hardware stores, shifting by 1970 to create art using drawing, Biro pens, newspaper images and artist's books. Based in Rome, he travelled constantly to distant destinations including Guatemala, Ethiopia, Japan, and, most frequently, Kabul, in Afghanistan. It was in Kabul that he set up a hotel and commissioned artisans to create embroideries, most famously his 'mappe', intricate maps of the world coloured according to political affiliation.

Josiah McElheny : Some Pictures of the 1nfinite / edited by Helen Molesworth ; with conrtibutions by Doug Ashford, Gregg Bordowitz, Moyra Davey [...et al.]. - Ostfildern ; Boston : Hatje Cantz Verlag : The Institute of Contemporary Art, 2012. - 144 p. : ills. ; 23 cm
This publication features examples of work by Josiah McElheny from the past fifteen years, and in particular it traces the artist's investigation of the concept of infinity, which he links to thinking about utopia. For instance, infinity is used as a constant in mathematical equations that allow scientists to speculate about things and phenomena unseen, just as utopia is a historical construct that permits unrealized yet aspirational activities. Inspired by the design objects of daily life, such as glassware or chandeliers, he develops abstract sculptures and complex installations.

Interiors / edited by Johanna Burton, Lynne Cooke, and Josiah McElheny. - Annandale-on-Hudson, NY ; Berlin : Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College : Sternberg Press, 2012. - 322 p. : ills. ; 25 cm. - (CCS Readers: Perspectives on Art and Culture 1)
This anthology examines the poetics and politics of interior experience within the frame of contemporary art. Encounters with art engage various conditions of interiority—whether through psychic spaces or specific physical environments, such as museums and private residences. The exhibition "If you lived here, you'd be home by now," presented at the Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard, in 2011, was the catalyst for the current volume, providing a paradigmatic case study for probing issues of the personal and subjective within realms of the sociological and the cultural.

This third title in the Exhibition Histories series follows Lippard's curatorial trajectory, analysing her transition from a writer about art to a maker of exhibitions, and tracing her growing political engagement and involvement with feminism.

Vlatka Horvat : As Opposed to the Front, Back, Top and Bottom / texts by Matt Keegan, November Paynter, Christian Rattemeyer [...et al.]. - Bergen : Bergen Kunsthall, 2011. - 101 p. : ills. ; 22 cm
Vlatka Horvat's work has its roots in the performing arts, and in her expression she may refer to both early performance art and Arte Povera from the 1960s and 1970s. As regards the former genre, this means that she makes use of dramaturgical resources, such that the works - or the scenarios - may appear to be plausible narratives, until one realizes that everything is built up from an internally flawed logic. As regards the latter genres, it means that she uses prosaic existing objects and commonplace materials to create new aesthetic configurations and spaces of understanding.

Together : The Rituals, Pleasures and Politics of Coorperation / author Richard Sennett. - New Haven ; London : Yale University Press, 2012. - 324 p. : ills. ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Living with people who differ—racially, ethnically, religiously, or economically—is the most urgent challenge facing civil society today. In Together Richard Sennett explores how people can cooperate online, on street corners, in schools, at work, and in local politics. He traces the evolution of cooperative rituals from medieval times to today. The author warns that we must learn the craft of cooperation if we are to make our complex society prosper, yet he reassures us that we can do this, for the capacity for cooperation is embedded in human nature.

Otto Neurath - City Planning : Proposing a socio-political Map for Modern Urbanism / by Sophie Hochhäusl. - Innsbruck : Innsbruck University Press, 2011. - 152 p. : ills. ; 22 cm
Includes bibliography
Austrian philosopher, economist, and member of the Vienna Circle, Otto Neurath (1882-1945) investigated representational maps for more than two decades of his life. In search of "humanizing knowledge" he revolutionized the discipline of chart making by quantitative maps (picture statistics) accessible to a large public. Sophie Hochhäusl argues that Neurath's "city planning" maps served not only as one of the first accessible socio-political maps of a city, but it was in effect also a heuristic architectural device. Hochhäusl explores the extent to which Neurath perceived of the city as an agglomeration of social facts and how far his socio-political map contributed to planning the city on such basis.

Home-Made Europe : Contemporary Folk Artifacts / by Vladimir Arkhipov ; foreword Jeremy Deller. - London : FUEL, 2012. - 256 p. : ills. ; 21 cm
For this book Vladimir Arkhipov travelled across Europe to collect objects made with the ultimate There I Fixed It mentality. The objects he has found are made by everyday people inspired by the desire to create something themselves rather than buying manufactured goods. The book suggests that many of these utilitarian objects transcend the dictates of necessity, and that this passion for the home-made is not simply a consequence of hard times.

Gartenstädte in und um Berlin / hrsg. Friedrich Wolff. - Berlin : Bässler Verlag, 2012. - 148 p. : ills. ; 28 cm
Mit register.
Eine »Vermählung von Stadt und Land« sollten die Gartenstädte sein. Nach englischem Vorbild als Reaktion aufs Mietskasernenelend wurde zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts auch in Deutschland das Ideal dieser neuen Wohnform in Lust und Licht populär: Ohne Bodenspekulation und Mietwucher sollten auf genossenschaftlicher Grundlage Inseln einer weithin autarken, neuen Gemeinschaft emporwachsen. Rings um das Zentrum Berlins entstanden nun solche »Kleinstädte im Grünen«, bedeutende Architekten wie Bruno Taut, suchten der neuen Siedlungsform gültigen Ausdruck zu geben.

The Temporary City / by Peter Bishop and Lesley Williams. - Abingdon ; New York : Routledge, 2012. - 248 p. : ills. ; 28 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The city is four dimensional, one needs to acknowledge also the influence of time in planning and design strategies. Up till now there has been relatively little analysis of the importance of interim, short-term or ‘meanwhile' activities in urban areas. In an era of increasing pressure on scarce resources, we cannot wait for long-term solutions to vacancy or dereliction. Instead, we need to view temporary uses as increasingly legitimate and important in their own right. They can be a powerful tool through which we can drip-feed initiatives for incremental change - as and when we have the resources - while being guided by a loose-fit vision.

Helen Verhoeven : Part Pretty / tekst Maria Barnas, Tom Morton, Michelle Swayne. - Heerlen : Schunck, 2012. - 180 p. : ills. ; 28 cm. - nederlands / English
De catalogus 'Helen Verhoeven. Part Pretty' is gepubliceerd naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling bij SCHUNCK* in Heerlen. Met haar monumentale, epische schilderijen lijkt Verhoeven het collectieve geheugen van ceremoniële groepsbijeenkomsten te onderzoeken, waarachter een landschap van nachtmerries en spookachtige verschijningen schuil gaat. De schilderstijl draagt bij aan het gevoel van onbehagen dat door haar werken wordt opgeroepen. Haar grove, 'naïeve' penseelstreek, lijkt te suggereren dat sociaal gedrag onmiskenbaar is te herleiden tot primitieve, individuele drijfveren.

Katinka Bock : The Sound of Distance / texts Lorenzo Benedetti, Thomas Boutoux, Vanessa Clairet. - Berlin : argobooks, 2009. - 72 p. : ills. ; 32 cm
This catalogue supplements the exibition The Sound of Distance by Katinka Bock at De Vleeshal, Middelburg, 10 April - 21 June, 2009. Bock reconceptualizes the environment of De Vleeshal through installation works and sculptures that create a relationship between the space's interior and exterior landscapes. As so often in her work, this joining of inside and outside explicitly includes the weather. Rain, wind and sun are allowed a direct influence on De Vleeshal's interior. Consequently, the art works exhibited here will be shaped by time, changing over the duration of the exhibition.

Urban Code : 100 Lessons for Understanding the City / authors Anne Mikoleit, Moritz Pürckhauer. - Zürich ; Cambridge, Mass. : gta Verlag : The MIT Press, 2011. - 112 p. : ills. ; 21 cm
Includes bibliography
Cities speak, and this little book helps us understand their language. Considering the urban landscape not from the abstract perspective of an urban planner but from the viewpoint of an attentive observer, Urban Code offers 100 "lessons"--maxims, observations, and bite-size truths, followed by short essays--that teach us how to read the city. This is a user's guide to the city, a primer of urban literacy, at the pedestrian level. The reader (like the observant city stroller) can move from "People walk in the sunshine" (lesson 1) to "Street vendors are positioned according to the path of the sun" (lesson 2); consider possible connections between the fact that "Locals and tourists use the streets at different times" (lesson 41) and "Tourists stand still when they're looking at something" (lesson 68).
