Book Review: Urban Interventions – Personal Projects in Public Spaces
A review on the Worldchanging blog of the book “Urban Interventions – Personal Projects in Public Spaces,” edited by Robert Klanten and Matthias Huebner. The publisher describes the book thus: “This book is a striking collection of the personal, often playful and thought-provoking installations in urban environments that use and react to walls, traffic signs, trees, ads, and any and all elements of the modern city. It is the first book to document these very current art projects – as well as their interplay with fine art, architecture, performance, installation, activism and urbanism – in a comprehensive way.”
