Trespassing: Houses X Artists Published by Hatje Cantz. Artwork by Kevin Appel, Barbara Bloom, Jim Isermann, T. Kelly Mason, Renee Petropoulos, Chris Burden, Julian Opie, David Reed, Jessica Stockholder. Edited by Peter Noever, Peter Noever. Text by Cara Mullio, L. D. Riehle, Kathleen Harleman. From Jessica Stockholder's subversive meditation on the suburban home, to Chris Burden's quasi-legal "small skyscraper," to Barbara Bloom's dislocating architecture (unfeasible, save through future technologies), to Kevin Appel's ambivalent homage to modernism, Trespassing: Houses x Artists breaks through the conceptual boundaries that have historically divided art and architecture to describe new strategies of conceiving private space. In their individual collaborations with architects Alan Koch and Linda Taalman of OpenOffice, nine contemporary artists radically reinvent how domestic space is created and inhabited. The resulting works are open-ended, representing a rigorous new approach to visualizing form rather than a final product or conceptual destination.
