Description
Arte/Cidade aims to discuss and plan new forms of artistic interventions in urban megacities, in areas which have both structural complexity and socio-spatial dynamics. The project speculates about a new approach toward possibilities for artistic and urban interventions: urban planning, extensive research of the regions, selection of sites and development of interventions. The project has had four editions: 1 - City Without Windows (1994); 2 - The City and its Fluxes (1994); 3 - The City and Its Stories (1997); 4 - East Zone (2002).
Goals
Arte/Cidade aims to discuss and plan new forms of artistic interventions in urban megacities, in areas which have both structural complexity and socio-spatial dynamics.
Beneficial outcomes
Interventions that relate the vast territory of megacities and the global reconfigurations of economy, power and art.
