Grantee Daniel Tucker's Visions for Chicago is a public art project that took place in front yards, empty lots, and public spaces throughout Chicago, Illinois during a historic mayoral and city council election season. From November 2, 2010 through April 1, 2011, blank signs were distributed to over 100 Chicagoans who are involved in trying to make the city more livable in a myriad of ways every single day. The signs and sign makers were photographed and their work is presented in a book of the same name.

Join Tucker, musician Alex Han, Don Washington, and several Visions for Chicago contributors for a book release party at the Jane Addams Hull House Museum on Monday, May 16th from 6-8pm.

Architecture Words Series 

New from the Architecture Association in London is the complete Architecture Words series, which includes works by Detlef Mertins, Rem Koolhaas, Denise Scott Brown, and Kengo Kuma.  In response to the contemporary architectural culture dominated by an endless production and consumption of images, graphics and information, this series of small books seeks to counter this trend by means of direct language, concise editing, and beautiful, legible graphic design. The bookshop carries all available books in the series and plans to stock the forthcoming Words 6: Projectiles by Bernard Cache and Toyo Ito’s Words 8: Tarzans in the Media Forest.  Each book is available for $20.
