What turns a random space into a place? What inscribes history into it, or lends it significance? These questions occupy the installation artist Sondra Perry in her current piece, A Terrible Thing, for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland. On Euclid Street in the heart of Cleveland, Perry carries out a kind of archaeological study of the street’s history using video, pictures found online, and digital methods of representation. In doing so, she relates the changing infrastructure of race representation on the street and its gender-political effect in everyday use to each other in order to negotiate issues of identity―of a city, a society, and of individuals. This work became a prism of times and perspectives that can now be imagined with the help of this publication.
The American architectural firm of Sparano + Mooney in Salt Lake
City, Utah and Los Angeles, CA, stands for sustainable and
innovative buildings that are harmoniously embedded in spectacular
mountain landscapes. In this volume, architectural critic Michael
Webb presents ten projects with the aid of photographs, drawings,
sketches and texts, visualizing the process by which architectural
ideas are conceived and realized. The architects respond in their
plans to the overwhelming natural surroundings with restrained
forms and the innovative detailing of materials. The firm's models,
sketches, conceptual drafts and fully executed buildings offer
thoughtful perspective on developing architecture that thrives on
the relationship between concept and place. Accompanying essays
relate the buildings to their regional contexts and also highlight
analogies to Land Art.
