This book provides an up-to-date, critical review of theoretical
concepts connecting artists and urban development. It focuses on
the multidimensionality of potential and actually observed
interactions between artists and cities and their impacts on urban
space, its form, functions and perceptions. Departing from the
viewpoint that a more nuanced geography of artists is still needed
to fully conceptualise the diversity of roles artistic creatives
play in urban transformations, the book presents contributions with
a common denominator of distinguishing artists as a unique
professional and social group. The essays focus on the complexity
of the artists' spatial preferences and analyse a myriad of
expressions of artists' presence in urban centres in different
geographic, political, economic, social, and spatial contexts
drawing on experiences from 16 cities across Europe. The book
presents several case studies ranging from Spain to Russia and from
Scandinavia to Slovenia, and offers new pathways into understanding
the implications of artists' residence and activities in
contemporary cities. Apart from presenting less obvious expressions
of artists' involvement in urban transformations such as their
participation in urban planning or grass root urban movements, the
volume explores the ambivalence of artists' interactions with
cities. Particular chapters test several divergent narratives of
artistic creatives as inspirers and instigators of urban changes,
pioneers of gentrification, contesters and resisters of neoliberal
urban policies or mere indicators of transformations inspired by
other actors, instrumentalized by public and private stakeholders.
