Art and the City (eBook, ePUB)

Worlding the Discussion through a Critical Artscape
Redaktion: Luger, Jason; Ren, Julie

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a global perspective on the political agency of arts in place. International and leading scholars and artists themselves present critical theory and practice of contemporary art as a politicised force. This book 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.
