Routledge Art and the City: Routledge Critical Studies in Urbanism

Explore the complex connection between artistic practice and urban environments with Art and the City: Worlding the Discussion through a Critical Artscape. Part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Urbanism and the City series, this book examines how artistic interventions change our perception of space. Artistic practices have a long history of challenging the boundaries between performer and spectator, as well as the lines between public and private life. By introducing elements like installation, performance, and ephemerality, artists constantly test what we define as art. This text expands that view by providing a global perspective on how art and the city relate to one another. Written by international and leading scholars, this work helps readers understand critical artistic practice on a worldwide scale. It is an essential resource for those studying how art impacts the urban landscape and how expanding our worldview changes our understanding of creative expression in modern cities.
