Critically challenging the notion of cities as hegemonic spaces,
Transformations: Art and the City explores interactions between the
human subject and their urban surroundings through site-specific
art and creative practices, tracing the ways in which Chapters
include case-studies raging from corporate- and public-funded art
in Sydney; creative exchanges in Cambodia; politically-engaged
enterprise art in the USA; affordable housing models in Australia;
street-art under surveillance in Melbourne; and community memorial
in post-disaster New Zealand, amongst others. People live, imagine
and shape their cities. Drawing on the work of artists globally,
from Cambodia to Australia, New Zealand to the USA, this edited
collection investigates the politics and democratization of space
through an examination of art, education, justice, and the role of
the citizen in the city. The writers critically and poetically
engage with the temporality and genealogies of public spaces, and
ask: how do we reconcile artistic practices with an urbanism driven
by globalization and capital? And is there room for aesthetic
practices in urban discourse? This collection explores how creative
practices can work in tandem with ever-changing urban technologies
and ecologies to both disrupt and shape urban public spaces,
democratization of space through an examination of art, education,
justice and the role of the citizen in the city.
