WHEN ART AND SPACE MEET - NORA KÜTTEL TASCHENBUCH

Based on the premise that art as well as space are part and product of social  political  and
economic relations  the book analyzes the dialectic relationship of artistic practices and
urban space in Detroit. The city of Detroit  with its massive population loss  abundance of
vacant lots and buildings  and continuing racialization and marketization of space  provides a
unique  although not exceptional setting for this research. Through a set of ethnographic
methods  Nora Küttel identifies five artistic practices that each refers to a specific aspect
of space and its production  such as materiality or publicness. She foregrounds diverse and
manifold relations of artistic practices and urban space in Detroit and unveils the dynamics
and conflicts as well as multiple meanings and histories of (artistic) spaces in Detroit that
often run counter to dominant representations of space. Nora Küttel also shows how those
practices produce spaces that are shaped by heterogeneity and participation. The research
contributes to geography's engagement with art by offering a critical perspective on the
intersection of artistic practices and space with regard to issues of power and representation
over and within urban space.
