Imperfect Health

Book. Edited by Giovanna Borasi + Mirko Zardini.
Essays by Borasi, Margaret Campbell, Nan Ellin, David Gissen, Carla C. Keirns, Linda Pollak, Hilary Sample, Sarah Schrank, Deane Simpson, and Zardini. Published by the CCA and Lars Müller Publishers.

Imperfect Health takes a critical look at how architects and planners are responding to growing urban health concerns and points to sometimes unforeseen consequences of their built interventions. The book tackles this contemporary issue from a historical and critical perspective, focusing on different themes: epidemics and urban defence systems; architecture combating pollution; environmental and urban challenges, obesity and design strategies; Modernism and tuberculosis; sunbathing and suburbia; aging today and indoor life and toxic materials.

Big Box Reuse

Book. Edited by Julia Christensen, published by MIT Press. 2008.

America is becoming a landscape of big boxes connected by highways, but when a big box store upsizes to an even bigger box “supercenter” down the road, it leaves behind more than the vacant shell of a retail operation; it leaves behind a changed landscape that can’t be changed back. Artist and writer Julia Christensen crisscrossed America identifying ten former big box stores that have been repurposed by the communities around them then photographed, videotaped, and interviewed the people involved with the transformations.

Can You See Us Now? ¿Ya Nos Pueden Ver?
Map. By subRosa, 2004.
Distributed as part of subRosa's installation in MASS MoCA's "The
Interventionists: Art in the Social Sphere," this broadside uses the
physical metaphor of a road map to investigate the similarities and
differences of economic, cultural and every-day life effects of the
outsourcing of labor and globalization on women in North Adams,
Massachussets and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. The manufacturing of
capacitors was once the primary use of this factory-turned-museum, but
the work has since moved to the Maquiladoras of post-NAFTA US/Mexico
border, where it is still primarily conducted by women.

Corporations are persons, and have been for over a century. Since 1886, when the U.S. Supreme Court gave them full constitutional rights, corporations have used their wealth and power to subvert democracy and its processes. Now, with this video, you can learn how the same inalienable rights that corporations have stolen over the years are used by ®TMark... to bring anti-corporate sabotage into the public marketplace. See this video and find out more about the folks who sponsored The Barbie Liberation Organization, Deconstructing Beck, GWbush.com, the battle over etoy.com and many other creative acts of anti-corporate sabotage.

Video. By The Yes Men.

“Check out this notorious real-life political prank foisted upon the WTO by a mysterious group of anonymous hoaxsters known as The Yes Men, who used the fake GATT.org cite to pose as WTO representatives and actually spoke at an international trade conference, with hilarious results. "Come join The Yes Men as they deliver a deathly horrible lecture to a group of high-powered lawyers, who think they are listening to the World Trade Organization. The lawyers' shocking response drives The Yes Men to the depths of depravity, with stupid results." The Yes Men serve us well as a group of imposters who will "use any means necessary to agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, ask questions, and then smuggle our the stories of their undercover escapades to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of business."
