Conference at DARE-DAREArtists, sociologists, architects and activists will present approaches, visions, intervention modes, aiming at redefining conceptualization, design and organization of urban landscape. Among other things, participants will discuss new forms of public space based on public connectiveness and urban experience rather than solely in terms of visual representation. In this view, the conference's objective is to explore and present alternative ways of intervening in the city, be it short-lived, contextualized or discrete, and will specially address site-specific practices, which consist of working with what exists, blurring the boundaries of art's definition. The event will also deal with various questions pertaining to the relationship to the site and to the public, as well as the real impact of the presence of art in the public space on society and urban life.
