This book is a compilation of the collective research and projects developed for the special topics class “Art in public space: macro to micro”, fall 2018.
Questioning and re-defining the role of contemporary art in the city, we analyzed Miami’s public space under a broader lens. The focus of our research was to investigate Miami’s diverse urban conditions and scales, understanding its infrastructure and identity, interpreting public space as all other space that is not private.
Using place-making and space-reclaiming strategies, from macro to micro, the course examined the potential of creating new relationships with the immediate urban context exploring art in its capacity to instigate change, reveal hidden relationships and raise awareness.
