| Popis: | My thesis focuses on one of many antidotes to privatized automobile supremacy. My thesis is about riding a bike in the city - how it feels, how it engages the body and mind, how it brings the rider into relation with the urban landscape and other people. To explore and understand the experience of riding a bike, and the implications of this experience in how we approach and navigate the city, I turn to artists. Art and artists present us with objects/moments/spaces to probe, deal with, and understand the social, political, and personal conditions of contemporary life. I believe that the role of art and artists in creating and intervening in the (urban) landscape, and urban processes, is not limited to ?beautification.? By entering into conversations with artists and their works, and by understanding their processes and concerns, we can better create meaning and connection within our experiences of the city, as well as vision and imagine pathways to navigate through it. |
