In August, the Trust for Public Land (TPL) and Friends of the QueensWay announced that WXY Architecture + Urban Design

September 16, 2013
No Comments
By Raymund Ryan with contributions by Brian O’Doherty and Marc Treib and photographs by Iwan Baan. University of California Press, 2012, 120 pages, $40. In recent decades, hundreds of new museums have sprung up in emerging art markets across the globe. In most of them, art remains confined to sterile, “white cube” galleries, while architecture and nature remain, quite literally, outside.
