art and the Amsterdam Zuidas Area
Gedrukt boek
The Amsterdam Zuidas area aims to become a new city centre for Amsterdam, with offices, residential areas and cultural amenities. The development has lofty ambitions, in which public artworks play a prominent role. Publication offers a critical reflection on a variety of issues concerning the relationship between art and the urban development of the Zuidas. How do the ambitions of the urban planners develop in conjunction with the artistic approach? How do the art projects influence the experience and use of the public space? Publication also features various practical and theoretical contributions from artists including Orgacom, Barbara Visser, Renée Kool, Paul Toornend and Daniël van der Velden/Logo Parc.
