Edible park, anglais
A work of art that grows and blossoms and produces delicious fruit and vegetables: that is what the British artist Nils Norman (b. 1966) has devised for various locations in The Hague. He cooperated with volunteers to create a special vegetable garden, "Edible garden", on the basis of permaculture, a form of ecological gardening. In this book Norman explains how he sets to work, what his sources of inspiration are, and in which artistic and social-critical context his work can be placed.
The Contemporary Picturesque
Addresses two innovative areas of contemporary architecture and design: repressive urban architecture and design (i.e. surface studs, crowd control barriers etc) and the vernacular architecture of protest culture (i.e. makeshift, low impact architectural structures such as tree houses and earth bunkers).
Charing Cross
Nils Norman was invited by the Serpentine Gallery and the Connection at St. Martin-in-the-fields, one of the UK's largest organisations for homeless people, to create a work in response to the charity's location in central London. Charing Cross explores how the economic and physical structures of the city impact upon people who inhabit its public space, with creative contributions from individuals at the Day Centre, which uncover an invisible geography of the area.

Critical Landscapes
From Francis AlØs and Ursula Biemann to Vivan Sundaram, Allora & Calzadilla, and the Center for Urban Pedagogy, some of the most compelling artists today are engaging with the politics of land use, including the growth of the global economy, climate change, sustainability, Occupy movements, and the privatization of public space. Their work pivots around a set of evolving questions: In what ways is land, formed over the course of geological time, also contemporary and formed by the conditions of the present? How might art contribute to the expansion of spatial and environmental justice? Editors Emily Eliza Scott and Kirsten Swenson bring together a range of international voices and artworks ...
