Walking 4Art project

Among the plethora of visual information, artists offer to the public the stimulus to re-discover the city they live in, through artistic sensitivity, spoting various locations and forming different links between the everyday and historic environment. As art’s extension and re-introduction in public space constitutes common artistic demand and desire, our city could be considered as a natural reception space of contemporary art.

Art in public space, as an ephemeral site-specific event, consists a dynamic local intervention, that is constantly re-defined, swinging between the site-specific and the community-specific. Public art, through languages and activities that enable it to penetrate the social fabric of the city, balancing between the everyday and the aesthetic experience, is capable -through its permanent or ephemeral presence- to provide an alternative conception of space and offer the impetus for a friendly relationship with the natural environment. The attempt is a reminder of how contemporary public opinion manipulation stems from mental rigidity and proposes ways to cover knowledge gaps due to the lack of audiences’ cultural education. It is an expression of disapproval, a comment and a reaction against the cultural environmental failure of our city and an attempt to constitute a “social vacuum” aiming to implement artistically a new communication utopia.
