Monuments, performances, street art and artists shape and change the cityscape permanently or temporarily. Art in urban space is omnipresent. But how does art in public space actually affect one’s own attitude to life? Do you feel better when you encounter it in your everyday life in the city?
Experts from the fields of neuroaesthetics, art, architecture, urban planning and urban policy will discuss these questions at the Art and the City event. Together with the participants, they want to find out whether and how art is perceived in urban space and what future perspectives result from this for life in cities.
The guests are Dr. Joerg Fingerhut (cognitive scientist and professor of philosophy of mind), Dr. Ute Müller-Tischler (head of the department of art, culture, history in Berlin-Mitte) and Yasha Young (curator and founding director of Urban Nation Berlin). The discussion will be chaired by Claudio Rimmele (Editor and Creative Director at the future agency Observism).
