Abstract

The modes in the same time aesthetic and political, by which art appropriates urban space, acquire enormous importance in contemporary society not only by allow the questioning of the artistic work and its relation to the system of the arts, but also because the generative aesthetic description of thinking about the city, contributing for its production. The confrontation between creativity and the inherent violation of the artwork and the limits and constraints imposed by other spheres, in this case, the dynamics of the city, it is thus essential ingredient to better understand this interrelatedness. This research has the object one of the moments where these two spheres were articulated in a very suggestive manner and whose set of issues - for art and urban thinking - up there still has, we believe, very relevant for today: the Downtown Scene - a cultural movement located in a specific region of the city of New York from the mid-1970s and 1980s.
