Art in the City, the City in Art
This Book examines an interplay between discourses on the city that stress the need for rational-functional order and art’s imaginative deviations from the topdown structures of urban life. Moving between theory and praxis, the book situates the city as both a concept and physical construct through which lives and possibilities are shaped or defined. In response, certain modalities of art create spontaneous, non-rational and playful interludes that risk escape from the urban apparatus and a hyper-valorisation of rational order. A three-part framework is used to discuss this push-pull dynamic and to assess the strategies of shock, performative embodiment and intervention that emerged in pos...
The City as a Medium
The underlying premise of most urban art interventions is to challenge the functional use of urban space, and disrupt the social relationships integral to public life. They materialise as an extensive range of ephemeral constructions, spontaneous installations and assemblages, and eccentric performances that challenge a 'normative' organisation of city space. This thesis engages art intervention praxis in contemporary urban spaces. Brad Downey, Jason Eppink and the artist collective, Performance, Video, Intervention, known as PVI, reveal wide-ranging methods for appropriating and reformatting aspects of the urban environment. This includes subverting the coded language of road signage; stagi...
The Routledge Companion to Art in the Public Realm
This multidisciplinary companion offers a comprehensive overview of the global arena of public art. It is organised around four distinct topics: activation, social justice, memory and identity, and ecology, with a final chapter mapping significant works of public and social practice art around the world between 2008 and 2018. The thematic approach brings into view similarities and differences in the recent globalisation of public art practices, while the multidisciplinary emphasis allows for a consideration of the complex outcomes and consequences of such practices, as they engage different disciplines and communities and affect a diversity of audiences beyond the existing 'art world'. The book will highlight an international selection of artist projects that illustrate the themes. This book will be of interest to scholars in contemporary art, art history, urban studies, and museum studies.
Art in the City, the City in Art
This thesis analyses art's critical entanglements with the city's order in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The central argument develops around artist responses to dichotomous urban conditions and the diverse strategies artists employ to draw attention to the powerful forces that organise cities. Art presents opportunities for unexpected encounters to emerge through the challenges it poses to a rational or functional order. It does this by unsettling or 'making strange' familiar routines and behaviours; demonstrating ways to dwell in the city differently; complicating urban processes and systems; and disrupting coded uses of space through actions that appeal to intuitive...
The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art, Craft, and Visual Culture Education
This companion demonstrates how art, craft, and visual culture education activate social imagination and action that is equity- and justice-driven. Specifically, this book provides arts-engaged, intersectional understandings of decolonization in the contemporary art world that cross disciplinary lines. Visual and traditional essays in this book combine current scholarship with pragmatic strategies and insights grounded in the reality of socio-cultural, political, and economic communities across the globe. Across three sections (creative shorts, enacted encounters, and ruminative research), a diverse group of authors address themes of histories, space and land, mind and body, and the digital realm. Chapters highlight and illustrate how artists, educators, and researchers grapple with decolonial methods, theories, and strategies—in research, artmaking, and pedagogical practice. Each chapter includes discursive questions and resources for further engagement with the topics at hand. The book is targeted towards scholars and practitioners of art education, studio art, and art history, K-12 art teachers, as well as artist educators and teaching artists in museums and communities.
