Description: This book focuses on the phenomenon of art intervention an expression of local initiatives by artists collectives and art centers wishing to influence the design of the space or make a change in its lifestyle. It pertains not only to acts of protest but also to the creation of a new civil and political situation in which artists acknowledge their ability to constitute foci of power. These are reflected in acts such as squatting in abandoned buildings restoring and redistributing them according to principles of social justice; mapping the city based on alternative parameters such as revealing venues of collective memory or exposing the city's backyard; creating outdoor urban art galleries; and creating temporary architecture and alternative solutions in order to deal with the challenges we face in times of epidemic and environmental crisis. The art intervention phenomenon has intensified since the mid - 1990s so much so that even local authorities the world over have begun to adopt activist and artistic practices. Due to the intensive urbanization processes and current global threats the creative trends and means surveyed in the book are crucial. This book will interest researchers planners urban planners architects social activists local authority executives art centers artists and designers.
