Art, public space and town planning: what comes to mind if you put these words together? Perhaps not the most positive images: pompous monuments in squares, weary abstractions on roundabouts, oversize gestures in metal in parks, and so on, from memorable landmarks to architectural embellishments. ARTocracy explores the sometimes awkward relationship between art and public space, looking specifically at contemporary instances of the genre. Also functioning as a curatorial handbook on the subject, ARTocracy tracks how projects are initiated and implemented--from the inception of a theme to the invitation of an artist and from funding a project to marketing it--and includes a wealth of information in the form of interviews with cultural practitioners, budgeting charts and detailed schedules. Through these useful examples and a range of methodologies, ARTocracy provides a first hand look at the many successive stages of organizing collaborative public art projects. ...

This is a book about reality an unpleasant reality that no one seems to want to address: A large number of the population was hit with substantial loss to their income, savings, and even jobs due to the economic collapse of recent years. Many feel that they are doomed with no way to build back up their savings in order to one day retire comfortably and securely, or that there just isn't enough time to work and save enough to return to that point. Fortunately, there is an upside. This book was written for people who refuse to accept business as usual. To be fair, these concepts are not for everybody. Many have become so demoralized by their circumstances and so distrustful of the system, that they feel physically immobilized and emotionally incapable of turning their lives around. That's unfortunate because there is one thing about which we are irrevocably convinced - it's never too late if you are still above ground. The authors of this book explain to readers how to buil...
