Projects: space, place and site – a talk by Antoni Muntadas

Gillman Barracks
Public Art is a concept that has been in discussion and revision for probably as long as the evolution of the terms ‘art’ and ‘city’ themselves.
By considering art and architecture as public, this talk explores new ways of understanding the concept of the ‘spatial cultural identity’ as relevant subject to contemporary critical discourses and practices on urban space.
Antoni Muntadas is currently Visiting Professor at the Visual Arts Program in the School of Architecture at the MIT in Cambridge and the Instituto Universitario de Arquitectura del Veneto in Venice.
