This Symposium takes outset in the fact, that temporary art and architecture play a
significant role in urban planning and development today. Artists and architects are enrolled
in economic rationales, which essentially can be about creating good investment
possibilities in an insecure time for urban development projects. This development is
often contradictory to the historic roots of Instant Urbanism.
More than 40 years of critical artistic and curatorial practice have paved the way into
urban space and explored a critical dialogue and reflection in the intersection between
art and performative architecture. Art and architectural projects have presented
artistic interventions on sites in order to promote social interaction, create autonomous
meetings and add greater diversity in terms of spaces and experiments in the urban
landscape.
This double bound agenda on temporary urban art and architecture projects raises
questions on how we as artists, architects and scientists can navigate in this field?
The symposium discuss how instant urbanism practice can reflect critically on sitespecific
rationales and discourses through an artistic, curatorial, architectural design
practice.
The keynote speakers from England and Denmark will present their papers related to
the following themes:
• Temporary projects as critical spatial practice
• Site-Writing
• Curatorial Methodology in urban settings
• Arts Curating as a public strategy through performativity, arts and temporary architecture.
After the one-day symposium there will be a two-day PhD. workshop focused on Site-
Writing.
