The Art of Public Space: Curating and Re-imagining the Ephemeral City

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 iul 2015

Recenzii

“This book brings something new to the public space discourse that allows us to think beyond the specificity of Johannesburg. It indeed exposes the naturalised ways of thinking and talking about public space, which tend to privilege permanency and definition, while rendering invisible the processes by which public space is actually made. … Gurney re-politicises the debate in new ways, offering us critical tools to re-imagining and re-speak of public space in the city.” (Kate Dawson, Africa at LSE Book Review, blogs.lse.ac.uk, May, 2016)

Notă biografică

Kim Gurney is a visual artist, journalist and academic. She is a Research Associate at the University of Cape Town's African Centre for Cities and the University of Johannesburg's Visual Identities in Art & Design Research Centre, South Africa. Her own art generally engages invisibilities or disappearance and attempts restorative gestures, and she runs a nomadic offspace for experimental work.
