A. On the scale of the City
How have the city and its “bystanders” understood and absorbed the art and urban creativity practices?
This session invites scholars, researchers, city-planners, architects, authors and others developing their investigations in the urban medium to address questions that surround the relationship of the creative work and the city, the users, the reception of the action, usage, oeuvre within urban context. Papers that focus on the integration/aggression of this phenomena in the urban built environment are also welcome.
B. On the user and groups
Art and creativity are made by man and for man that is why the expression Public Art is considered an oxymoron. The term urban transport us from the inside (eg: enterprises, galleries and museums) to the outside (urban built environment) as premise. But as all creation forms, it is the expression of an author in social context.
With this session we intend to gather journalists, anthropologists, sociologists, authors and others that focus their researches on justifying the impulse in creating and act outside the conventional spaces mediums and sites.
C. On the actions and works
This session intends to open a debate platform parting from the relation between the “Contemporany Art” and Street Art and Urban Creativity (eg. Street Art and Graffiti). As the overall structure of the conference, we are looking forward to a proficuous debate concerning the artwork, the author, the opportunities and challenges posed to the relations with the art market “system” (artwork/curator/art dealer). The session also welcomes papers that tackle with the history, evolution and new expressions of urban creativity character (eg. Street Art and Graffiti) and other vanguard practices.
For those reasons, this session is looking forward to receiving presentation proposals from art historians, authors, curators, scholars, gallerists among others.
D. On the side effects
Street Art and Urban Creativity are phenomenona with consequences and impact in the built environment and the overall perception we – users – have of a city. Apart the aesthetic analysis of the urban creativity practices, other postulates can be considered and analysed in order to explain its survival, support and vitality.
This session intends to approach the so called side effects that have been produced by urban creativity: from the economical point of view, for example. These practices have the ability to give a city new meanings not only in the aesthetic context but also in the tourism market, economical field, converting what can be considered cultural capital into economical capital.
As a result, we are calling upon researchers, authors and institutional persons that have interpretation and work focused on how the actions produced within the urban context can be looked upon; we also welcome investigation that is focused on the “illegal” character of specific types of urban creativity actions as well as sociological, psychological or even political effects. To sum it up, we are literally looking for the collateral damages and side effects of Street Art and Urban Creativity.
