Questioning the relations between societial issues, economical parameters and options to act through employing artistic projects and urban strategies.
_interventionist practices _institutional critique _possibilities of self-initiated projects and self commissioning _negotiation and appropriation of urban public space
Especially since the 1990s artists have engaged in socio-political and urban issues thus questioning concentional roles and fields of the artist. These changing roles do not only address the positioning of the artist in the conflictuous debate between art market and critically engaged art practices in the urban public realm, but also concern the role of the ¿consumer¿ (Michel de Certeau) as active participant. Increasingly new visions are not only proclaimed rhetorically or in the art context, but artists aim at having an impact on society. These projects are often subjected to the critique of dismissing their ¿own¿ terrain, and to interfere in the terrain of other experts ¿ thus ¿betraying¿ the autonomy of art.
The lecture series will give an insight in the discourse on the above mentioned issues by presenting art projects and texts, with a focus on performative, participatory and transdisciplinary practices and how these practices contribute to producing new roles (urban practitioner).
