Abstract
Artists used to be major contributors to how cities looked and felt, providing both structure and content for public space. Working atthe service of political and religious authorities, the Renaissance artist designed the architecture and exterior of public spaces, as well as the interiors, including sculptural and pictorial elements. We shouldn’t forget that social engagement does not mean trying to say, by other means and media, that which words express perfectly. What we understand is that we should expect more from art: something like a poetically, critically, visionary enhanced city.
