Dave Hullfish Bailey
What’s Left
Artist Dave Hullfish Bailey sees connections that others do not, and uses those insights to make speculative proposals that often involve urban land use. This book is a collection of what he calls “detritus” from the link he created between the historic Dutch city of Utrecht and a homeless camp in the California desert called Slab City. The mixed narratives of individual freedom and communal living meet in both places, as diverse as they may seem, as do other places drawn together using non-linear, multi-layered methods to explore subjects like the history of the Colorado River, the social functions of books and libraries, and disciplines as diverse as chemistry, architecture, social psychology, agriculture, language and disaster response.

Cascoland
Interventions in Public Space – Drill Hall, Johannesburg, South Africa
In Johannesburg, South Africa, Dutch artist Fiona de Bell saw a city with a public space crisis. With a handful of artists and some courage, de Bell and her colleagues transformed the South African city’s most dangerous zones into fashion runways, public gardens, urban playgrounds, and even a bed and breakfast. Called Cascoland, de Bell’s project activated public spaces and engaged residents, fostering a newfound sense of security. With full-color photographs on nearly every page, this slim exhibition catalog chronicles the artists’ interventions in urban areas and their successful efforts to encourage residents and artists alike to shape and mobilize their own public spaces.
