Interview On Art And The City: Nicolas Whybrow On #Lefebvre, Public Art, #Banksy, Researching And More.
I came across the book Art and The City by #Nicolas_Whybrow a few weeks ago. My deep interest in the relationship between artworks and the urban realm consequently made me read the book which gives a comprehensive coverage of the ways in which art affects the city in contemporary urban life. I contacted Dr. Nicolas Whybrow who is Associate Professor (Reader) in the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Warwick, for an interview regarding his book. This interview covers some important themes of the ways in which art (including public art) affects the city and why it is important for urban dwellers to develop an appreciation for art.
