Urban interventions by artists
This title explores urban intervention as an art practice. Intervention work is site-specific, eclectic in form, and generally involves an element of unpredictability - possibilities to be experienced through chance encounters. Surprise or serendipity is part of what constitutes the work. Often anonymous, the interventionists challenge the hierarchies of the art world while also contributing to the dilation of public spaces. 'Accidental Interventionist' questions the politics, sociology, and reception of interventionist strategies.
