AB Just as the linguistic sign, defined by Saussure, is like a double-sided coin: significant + meaning, so the city can be defined by this dichotomy, that is, on the one hand iscomposed of matter and, second, to function or content. We travel the city as thebaudelairean flâneur as untimely affiliates walkers to the Situationist International, andso we wear away the tread on the asphalt. Politics, associations and media areresponsible for our public space is constantly bombarded by private interests with theconsequent impact on the development of citizen relations in semi-privatized publicspace. The Art brings significant strategies of non-urban places and does so throughthe Public Art as artistic intervention appropriation of public space by the affirmation of ordinary citizens living there, i.e. by an art to the city and citizenship. Exploring thecurrent state of the contemporary city gives us the framework to review part of urbanartistic poetics emerged in recent decades.
