Description
More than fifty years of work by the American artist and architect.
The book presents more than five decades of visionary work in art, design, environment, and education by James Wines- artist, architect, and founder of SITE, an environmental arts organization established in New York City in 1970. Featuring rarely seen archival photography, drawings, and essays, this richly illustrated book invites readers to explore Wines' and SITE iconoclastic critiques and creative redefinitions of art, architecture, and urbanism. More than a retrospective monograph, What Else Could It Mean is a forward-thinking call to action to address the challenges of our time with wit and imagination. Wines' work spans visual art, architecture, landscape, and public space design, all rooted in a creative response to their surrounding contexts.
