Résumé:

"The works of New York-based artist Vito Acconci, who was born in 1940, often deal with creating a public defined via the body - from his radical performances in the early seventies to his unusual architectural designs since the establishment of the Acconci Studio in 1988. Courtyard in the Wind, his project for the Technisches Rathaus in Munich, was the first permanent structure by Acconci to be realized in a public space in Germany: a revolving ring of landscape in the courtyard which is powered by the wind rotor located on top of the Rathaus tower." "This book, which is the first documentation of this project, grants valuable insights into the architectural designs of the Acconci Studio with the Exhibition of Models. It features texts by Vito Acconci about the body, architecture, and public space. An essay by Heinz Schutz reviewing Acconci's works from the last decades opens up the horizon against which Courtyard in the Wind is set."--Jacket
