Art and Public Space

Art serves as an alternative platform for communication, a catalyst for contemplation, a domain of activity where this particular behaviour is implemented, which involves the pragmatic discourse focused on the verification of standards of action, the establishment of criteria for evaluation, and, in a broader sense, the establishment of a public domain.


The paradox lies in the fact that art converts cognitive processes into a profound and perceptive encounter with the collective. An first sensitive transformation that is furthermore comprehensible. In the public sphere, situated on the periphery of the state domain, political orientations are made known to the general public and undergo a communicational process that determines their appropriateness and legitimacy, as argued by Jurgen Habermas.


The primary objective or the central focus of the concept of "publicity" is to... Art may and already embodies the medium referred to as "publicity" by Habermas. This nodal point serves as the foundation from which the sphere of debate might emerge within what should be known as the public space.


The concept of public space, established in the 17th century, defines a new political arena that subsequently matches with tools such as cafes and newspapers. These tools enable the advancement of public conversations and endless disputes on the legitimacy of the purposes and objectives of social organization.


The establishment of this deliberative and artistic public space entails the emancipation of our creative abilities by not confining art to experts, by allocating resources to communal or transitory areas such as a staircase, a courtyard, an alley, supermarket parking lots, etc., so allowing unrestricted expression and vigorous discussion.

The Poetic Terrorism of Hakim Bey pertains to the prevailing logic of vigorous debate within the establishment of a public sphere.

Poetic terrorism is a form of violence that occurs in a theater of cruelty devoid of a stage, rows, seats, tickets, or walls. For poetic terrorism to operate effectively, it must unquestionably dissociate itself from all traditional frameworks of art consumption such as galleries, journals, and media.

The concepts of freedom and anonymity are intriguing that enable us to overcome any self-centered inclination and render any commercial restitution unattainable. The transient quality of an event or musical composition creates a dispersed recollection and leaves a lasting imprint on the environment, but the intensity of the recollection will resurface in a more potent manner.

Thus, it is imperative that we generate the atypical, endeavor to highlight the inconsistencies of the system, provide counter-information by assuming the role of our own media. If we are indeed to create is to resist, we are often expected to be social firefighters ensnared in our social positions and professions. However, we are also all potential creators of culture, arsonists of culture. With this army of art formed, we will be able to declare: "It is beautiful like a prison that burns!" seen in France www.vwart.com
