What is the fate of art in an age of publicity? How has the role of traditional public (i.e., government-owned) art changed in contemporary culture, and how have changing conditions of public space and mass communications altered the whole relationship between art and its potential audiences? With contributions from the arts, philosophy, criticism, and the law, the thirteen essays in this volume explore the aesthetic, social, and political dynamics that make contemporary public art so controversial, and that that have placed recent art work at the center of public debates. Contributors include Vito Acconci, "Public Space in a Private Time"Agnes Denes, "The Dream"W. J. T. Mitchell, "The Violence of Public Art: 'Do the Right Thing'"Ben Nicholson, "Urban Poises"Michael North, "The Public as Sculpture: From Heavenly City to Mass Ornament"Barbara Kruger, in an interview with W. J. T. MitchellBarbara Hoffman, "Law for Art's Sake in the Public Realm"Richard Serra, "Art and Censorship"James E. Young, "The Counter-Monument: Memory Against Itself in Germany Today": Charles Griswold, "The Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Washington Mall: Philosophical Thoughts on Political Iconography"John Hallmark Neff, "Daring to Dream"and David Antin and Virginia Maksymowicz. Presenting a balance of theoretical and performative essays by both critics and artists, this book will provide deep and discordant analyses of contemporary public art for general readers, as well as students and scholars of art, architecture, and public policy related to the arts. Most of these articles originally appeared in the journal 'Critical Inquiry'.

The Logic of Architecture is the first comprehensive, systematic, and modern treatment of the logical foundations of design thinking. It provides a detailed discussion of languages of architectural form, their specification by means of formal grammars, their interpretation, and their role in structuring design thinking. Supplemented by more than 200 original illustrations, The Logic of Architecture reexamines central issues of design theory in the light of recent advances in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and the theory of computation. The richness of this approach permits sympathetic and constructive analysis of positions developed by a wide range of theorists and philosophers from Socrates to the present. Mitchell first considers how buildings may be described in words and shows how such descriptions may be formalized by the notation of first order predicate calculus. This leads to the idea of a critical language for speaking about the qualities of buildings. Turning to the question of representation by drawings and scale models, Mitchell then develops the notion of design worlds that provide graphic tokens which can be manipulated according to certain grammatical rules. In particular, he shows how domains of graphic compositions possible in a design world may be specified by formal shape grammars. Design worlds and critical languages are connected by showing how such languages may be interpreted in design worlds. Design processes are then viewed as computations in a design world with the objective of satisfying predicates of form and function stated in a critical language. William J. Mitchell is G. Ware and Edythe M. Travelstead Professor of Architecture at Harvard University and a founder of the Computer Aided Design Group in Los Angeles. Among the books he has authored or coauthored are The Poetics of Gardens, The Art of Computer Graphics Programming, and Computer Aided Architectural Design.

W. J. T. Mitchell's son Gabriel was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of nineteen and died by suicide at the age of 38, leaping from his apartment high in Chicago's Marina City towers. Gabe left behind a remarkable archive of creative work and a father determined to learn from, and bear witness to, Gabe's journey. What is a father to do when caught between his skepticism about psychiatry and the reality of a son suffering from mental illness? How to see madness clearly from within the daily challenges of loving his gifted but delusional child? Gabe's story holds many lessons-for parents and caregivers of the mentally ill, for those interested in mental illness as a social and political identity, for those interested in the question of the outsider artist. Gabe himself had a larger, "macrocosmic" ambition beyond the story of his own condition. He wanted to make a film that would show madness from inside and out, as media stereotype and spectacle, as minority status and stigma, as a form of disability that is an extreme form of a subjective experience we all endure at some point. He would explore all possible images of madness, from the monster to the magician, the clown to the kook and crank, the mad scientist to the mad sovereign. His ambition was to "transform schizophrenia from a death sentence to a learning experience." This book challenges us to learn from Gabe's attempt to find redemption inside his madness. It is also a moving story of a father's love and a family's resilience.
