City Heights Aobadai, 1991. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Type: Book 56 pp., beige mottled paper covered hardcover bdg. with black titling on front board. Field Work presents Kawamata's self produced, almost intimate, architectural structures: small fort-like arrangements built using found materials, constructed in a guerrilla on-the-run fashion. Also of note is the fact that this work, begun in 1984, was a self-sustained and independent activity that Kawamata felt compelled to do in spite of his feelings of 'guilt' for not having permission to erect his structures. This DIY orientation towards artistic production foreshadows the current interest in street art. Please contact us directly for a full description.
