Running the City
Description
Leading Australian curator Felicity Fenner profiles activity-based andpop-up contemporary public art projects from Australia and around theglobe. Running the City explores art projects that bring together diversedisciplines and cultures including running, cycling, architecture, andguerilla gardening.
From runners taking to the streets of Sydney's CBD in Runscape toWork No. 850, where athletes sprinted through the corridors of TateBritain, the book surveys recent art projects that utilise the city bothas subject matter and a site for art. Participatory, temporary, andpermanent community-driven art projects reveal how public space canbe activated in ways that are original, subversive, fun, and unexpected.The theme of running both in the context of athleticism and agency underscores the artworks here.
More than just site-specific public art,the art projects examined in Running the City change the way we thinkabout and inhabit our cities.
