Summary "In this collection of essays on the relationship of architecture and the arts, Giuliana Bruno addresses the crucial role that architecture plays in the production of art and the making of public intimacy. As art melts into spatial construction and architecture mobilizes artistic vision, Bruno argues, a new moving space - a screen of vital cultural memory has come to shape our visual culture." "Considering the role of architecture in contemporary art that refashions our "lived space" - and the work of such contemporary artists as Rachel Whitebread, Mona Hatoum, and Guillermo Kuitca - Bruno argues that architecture is used to define the frame of memory, the border of public and private space, and the permeability of exterior and interior space. Architecture, she contends, is not merely a matter of space but an art of time."--BOOK JACKET
