Karen Kipphoff – Staged Squares, Staged Bodies is the German-Canadian artist's second publication on the theme of public space. In it, Kipphoff elucidates the positioning and design of historic squares, tells their stories, and directs attention to how and what they stage. The reader thereby gets a feeling for the experiencability of historical squares and for the changes in the image the city presents today. Panorama photographs and accompanying texts open up new perspectives on public spaces in big cities like Berlin, Bucharest, Montreal and Toronto. Beyond that, the publication documents the media installation Staged Spaces (with its related theme), which Kipphoff developed in 2005 for the Kunsthalle Bergen in Norway.

Some cities have grown into mega cities and some into uncontrolled sprawl; others have seen their centres decline with populations moving to the suburbs. In such times, questions of the public realm and public space in cities warrant even greater attention than they have previously received. Investigating ordinary spaces in the city where power operates more subtly and differences are negotiated, Sophie Watson uses a number of different ethnographies of public spaces, materializing some of the theories of the urban public realm to see how difference is played out and negotiated in the everyday. Much of this book focuses on spaces where to outside observers tension is relatively absent or invisible, in order to elucidate processes of negotiation as well as antagonism, but Watson also reveals how the boundaries between the public and private are being negotiated and redrawn, and how public and private spaces are mutually constitutive. Through her investigation of the more ordinary and less dramatic forms of encounter and contestation in the city, Watson is able to conceive of an urban public realm and urban public space that is heterogeneous and potentially progressive.
