Art and the City
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-23621-9 (ISBN)
This book presents a global perspective on the relationship between art and the city. International and leading scholars and artists themselves present critical theory and practice of contemporary art as a politicised force. It extends thinking on contemporary arts practices in the urban and political context of protest and social resilience and offers the prism of a ‘critical artscape’ in which to view the urgent interaction of arts and the urban politic. The global appeal of the book is established through the general topic as well as the specific chapters, which are geographically, socially, politically and professionally varied. Contributing authors come from many different institutional and anti-institutional perspectives from across the world.
This will be valuable reading for those interested in cultural geography, urban geography and urban culture, as well as contemporary art theorists, practitioners and policymakers.
Jason Luger is an urban researcher and Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, United States. Julie Ren is a Fellow in Human Geography at the London School of Economics, United Kingdom.
