Art, urban space and the global city -- Transformative media and the changing urban landscape -- Urban rhetoric and evolving visions of the city.
Summary:
"Art and the Global City brings together a host of academics (communication specialists, sociologists, historians and cultural theorists) who seek to expand the notion of a 'communicative city' by looking at the role that art and public culture play in the rapidly expanding global landscape. Spanning four continents (North America, Europe/Eurasia, Asia and Australia) and multiple cities (from Chicago to Singapore, Moscow, Seoul and Melbourne), these case studies focus the reader's attention to the evolution of art in public spaces and the rhetorical power of new artistic visions and conglomerations in the urban landscape"-- Provided by publisher.
