(book) The History of the Future: Visual Public Spheres and Arts Institutions in the Middle Eastern City, 2001- 2011 This book examines several artist-developed and overseen arts institutions in selected North African and Middle Eastern cities with an eye to historicizing the contemporary relationship Feldma n_3 between visual culture and the urban public sphere as it was developed in the Middle East and North Africa during the decade between 9/11 and the “Arab Spring.” (book) “After Decolonization” This journal article explores the transnational cultural influence—from places as diverse as Canada, China, and the Arabian Gulf—that has shaped the design and realization of three different urban plans centered around museums and architectural monuments meant to commemorate the War of Liberation in Algiers from the mid-1970s to the present. (article) “Yto Barrada’s Model” This journal article analyzes recent photographic work by Yto Barrada in relationship to the formulation of historical time and urban space that is proposed by her renovation and stewardship of the Cinémathèque Tanger. It argues that Barrada’s image-based practice models the city as a private performance, and, in so doing, produces an abstract, decolonial urbanism that is both pleasurable and distinctly resistant.
