Urban Avant-Gardes (eBook, PDF)

Art, Architecture and Change

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Can art or architecture change the world? Is it possible, despite successive failures, to think of a new cultural avant-garde today? What would this mean? "Urban Avant-Gardes and Social Transformation" attempts to contribute to debate on these questions, by looking back to past avant-gardes from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, by examining the theoretical and critical terrain around avant-garde cultural interventions, and by profiling a range of contemporary cases of radical cultural practices. "Urban Avant-Gardes and Social" "Transformation" brings together material from a wide range of disciplines to argue for cultural intervention as a means to radical change, while recognizing that most such efforts in the past have not delivered the dreams of their perpetrators.
