Visible City @ York University presents:
Urban Interventions: A Symposium on Art & the City
in conjunction with Images Festival
The Drake Hotel, Toronto, April 9-10, 2005
--------------------------------------------------
The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.
—Italo Calvino
Artists, architects and designers look to the city to bring specificity and sensuality to the ephemeral environments they are creating at the intersections of technology, communication, and everyday life. This connection to a sense of place and history positions artists as aesthetic innovators and political instigators who use local environments to transcend the borders of cities and create new forms of democratic expression.
Urban Interventions: A Symposium on Art and the City brings together critical theorists, filmmakers, visual artists, architects and designers who use visual culture to investigate, document and describe this changing relationship between art and citizenship.
Keynotes:
GEORGE YÚDICE (New York University)
W.J.T. MITCHELL (University of Chicago)
KAJA SILVERMAN (University of California at Berkeley)
PANELISTS:
Kathleen Pirrie Adams,
