Abstract

This book asks the question: why have artists represented the public gardens with such consistency between the mid-nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth? The list is long indeed including painters, often famous, who signed works on these "green spaces". The public garden offered artists a miniature theater of urban civilities, illuminating the uses and sprains to the rules. Continuing the investigation beyond the Second World War, this study ends with the Situationists and their celebration of "square wave".

Abstract

Interrupting the City explores the ways in which artistic practices and interventions constitute the public sphere. To interrupt the city (be it digitally or materially) means to arrest the flow or circulation that the city consists of. The tactics by which this interruption is achieved may vary, ranging from a media offensive to riots in the streets, but each and every time these activities affect the public sphere, also make the public sphere. Thus, the public domain is constituted by a combination of social, political and media forces, in a continuous flux, continuously being interrupted.This book attempts to chart the conditions under which one is able to develop a voice in the public sphere, and to ask in what way these conditions could be altered by means of artistic interventions. Its contributions delve into the relations between artistic practices and the public space, including the urban relations between art and politics.
