Placed in contemporary cities, follies become critical tools to test the constitution and transformative potential of public space. \u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica\"\u003eRevisiting some of these historic sites, a series of eight newly commissioned follies forge links between every day uses and political practice linking contemporary Gwangju and a global political arena.\u0026nbsp;The book takes the form of a\u0026nbsp;glossary, situating the eight new Follies within a broader cultural discourse and presents the projects curated by Nikolaus Hirsch, Philipp Misselwitz, and Eui Young Chun as “foolosophy.”\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45284351181064,"sku":"9783775735537","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775735537_2509b23b-eff6-4879-be53-7ce5ae3ec54b.jpg?v=1744094694","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17310-gwangju-folly-ii","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
