URBAN ART: CREATING THE URBAN WITH ART<\/p>\n

14-16 July 2016 \u2013 Humboldt University Berlin<\/p>\n

Keynote: Prof. Dr. Frank Eckardt (Bauhaus-Universit\u00e4t Weimar)<\/p>\n

The conference deals with Urban Art, a new form of art and activism, that occurs in urban areas worldwide. First known under the label of “Street Art”, the term has expanded to include diverse artistic and visual interventions in the exterior space. In contrast to the traditional term \u2018public art\u2019, Urban Art is very inclusive. Thus, it is both part of and reflective of current processes of global urbanization.<\/p>\n

The extremely heterogeneous manifestations of Urban Art range from large-scale wall paintings to tiny stickers, performative interventions to alternative forms of urban planning; they accompany multiple forms of urban and global criticism and try to encourage participation through low artistic techniques.They are seen in passing, often by chance, on the street or by the discovery of images and locations online and in social media. Finally, the ambivalent areas of upvaluation and reinterpretation of urban spaces (gentrification), advertising and city marketing (commoditization) and attacks on private property (vandalism) are topics of Urban Art.<\/p>\n

Works of Urban Art tend not to emerge from the art establishment, but come from anonymous players who make use of simple techniques and materials. Therefore, Urban Art is a phenomenon of the ‘Low’, which indeed evolved from a subculture, but clearly has features of mass culture: it is easily accessible to a wide audience on the street and online, works of Urban Art are often produced in series and at a low price. Urban Art messages are striking, comparable to advertising, and serve as entertainment or express site-specific criticism of urban surroundings. At the same time, the implicit notion of the urban provides the opportunity to reflect on the present development of the city and its medialization or aestheticism. This includes processes of virtualization, which participants test in a playful artistic environment or also concerning the monitoring in public space.<\/p>\n
