With a rich visual selection of projects and methods, Urban Interventions documents the new artistic approach to urban art that is currently making a mark on our contemporary visual language and represents the next generation of artwork to hit public spaces.
Using any and all of the components that make up urban and rural landscapes, these spatial interventions bring art to the street and turn the city into outdoor laboratory and gallery. Modified traffic signs or swings at bus stops challenge us to rediscover our environment and interact with it in new ways.The book shows the growing connections and interplay of this scene with art, architecture, performance, and installation, from London to New York, from China to Colombia.
