At EXPO 2000, Germany's first World Exposition, a diverse group of some twenty artists is participating in an innovative outdoor art project entitled In Between. Their works appear not together as a single exhibition, but in scattered locations throughout the extensive grounds of EXPO 2000. The participating artists engage with questions surrounding the role of art in public spaces, the means by which art can assert itself in the midst of distraction, and even the future of art and the art of the future. Each artist grappled with these issues, and the intriguing answers fill the pages of this inviting volume.

Few topics in the visual arts in recent years have created such controversy as the debate surrounding the significance and potential of public art. In this massive book-the first of its kind-over 50 authors take a critical look at this theme: the result is a fascinating compendium of opinions and statements, experiences and reports. The wide-ranging material by curators, art historians, and artists, including Vito Acconci, Daniel Buren, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, Jenny Holzer, Rebecca Horn, Ilya Kabakov, Kasper Konig, Joseph Kosuth, Richard Serra, Harald Szeemann, Lawrence Weiner, and many more, is divided into sections entitled Art and the City, Art and Archtecture, Art and History, Art and Society, and Art and the Public. At over 600 pages with over 250 illustrations, Public Art presents an unprecedented abundance of both written and visual information on a vital topic in contemporary art.

In this latest work by Bruce Nauman, first mounted to great acclaim at the Dia Art Foundation in 2001, Nauman presents seven large-scale projections of his New Mexico studio interior. Forty-two hours of tape were shot over 42 nights using infra-red lenses, and reveal the basic preconditions for his artistic production: his empty studio.

Transience and the economic use of resources are central themes in German artist Heike Beyer's work. Materiality is also important--often festive, but never overtaxed. This exhibition catalogue records three scholars' reactions to Beyer's installation for the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, in which the artist covers the 36-foot-high room in colored crepe paper, which, over time, is bleached by daylight. The book also includes several images that may have served as references or inspirational materials for Beyer--drawings, paintings, photographs. They are at once scientific, romantic, beautiful and cryptic.

Doig, whose smart, dark figurative painting saw him nominated for the Turner Prize in 1994, lives and works in Trinidad. He and the artist Che Lovelace run a small private cinema there, StudioFilmClub. This series of posters for movies they've shown includes paintings that refer to key scenes, quote original movie posters, and weave in broader associations with the films' content.

George Brecht is, in Emmett Williams' words, "a practitioner of art for life's sake." This comprehensive publication on one of the most influential and entertaining artists of the Fluxus movement has at its core his works of the 1960s and 70s, particularly his "event objects"--everyday items enlivened by viewer interactions.
