| | | Surface Tension Supplement No.1Edited by Ken Ehrlich and Brandon LaBelle. Essays by Jennifer Gabrys, Robin Wilson, Michael Rakowitz, Claudine Isé, Octavio Camargo, Kathy Battista, Brandon Lattu, Simparch, e-Xplo, James O'Leary, Kristin Kreider, et al.
Following the success of Surface Tension: Problematics of Site, Surface Tension: Supplement No. 1 presents contemporary site-based practices in art, architecture and performance through writing, documentation and projects. It offers readers a string of moments when artistic practice actively discovers, defines and recreates public space, and asks what role that kind of practice might play in defining contemporary culture and society. Issues of design activism and the role of media in spatial experience are explored in critical essays by Jennifer Gabrys on Fresh Kills Landfill in New York, Michael Rakowitz on the Hungarian-based team Big Hope, and in Claudine Isé's Vanishing Point, an exhibition questioning the aesthetics of urban non-spaces. Ken Ehrlich contributes a piece on the infrastructure of signage in Los Angeles as seen through the photographs of Brandon Lattu. In addition, readers will find documentation of projects by the artist groups Simparch and e-Xplo, along with Kristin Kreider and James O'Leary's works designed specifically for the book.

| | | FROM THE BOOKSurface Tension Supplements aim to provide a site for considering the growing contemporary international culture of artistic practices related to geographies, bodies and the issues generated by encounters between spaces and subjects. Planned as an on-going series, the Supplements will engage discourses around notions of site-based practice in art, architecture and performance through documentation of works, critical and explorative essays, and projects designed specifically for each book. It is our hope that these publications can serve as a meeting place, where the inherent diversity of contemporary cultural practice can find residence, with a view toward assessing, stimulating, and representing such diversity at its most public, social, and geographically-engaged moments. Excerpt is from Ken Ehrlich and Brandon LaBelle's Introduction to Surface Tension Supplement No.1. | | |  | Errant Bodies PressISBN: 9780982743980
