About this book
Reviews
"Of course, all architecture is performative. Too often, though, this is squeezed into a constricting discourse of functionality. This exhilarating book shows that space - cyber-augmented and globally distributed - is a realm of complex enactment that founds a theatre of life embracing everything from revolution to joy." - Michael Sorkin
"Geiger has gathered an impressive array of contemporary thinkers to establish and tease out the reality of living in an age where sedentary structures are exceeded by the mediatized spectacle of our daily lives. These entr'acteurs (themselves operating between varying creative and theoretical practices) expose eddies at the dynamic nexus of geopolitical, financial, technological, and sociocultural forces in order to offer remarkable accounts, insights, and propositions that productively 'play' between the transitory and intransigent as performative spacing." - Dorita Hannah, ResearchProfessor, Interdisciplinary Architecture, Art and Design, University of Tasmania, Australia and Adjunct Professor, Stage and Space, Aalto University, Finland"This is a book that gets under your skin with its kaleidoscopic and densely worded essays on phenomena wherein the urban, the political, media and images interact, or rather: are smashed together. We know that we are living out the last days of a former world order, in politics, in economies, in media, and in the role that architecture has to play in shaping the public sphere. Entr'acte does not reassure, or moralize about where we are going or should be going, but shakes us up with its visions of where we are already, and where we could be going." - Wouter Vanstiphout, Professor, Design and Politics, Technical University Delft, The Netherlands
