A reflection on the relationship between space, history and time of the event in contemporary art
Public space is not an a prior category: it is always under construction and is the product of the relationship between the place and the bodies that cross it.
The time of history and the ephemeral time of the event are two lenses through which it is possible to investigate how space is activated by contemporary art.
