Gentrification

El contrato

Tents on Tahrir Square, Egypt

Hay algo engañosamente seductor en el teatro de sombras del artista y la ciudad que ciertos discursos sobre gentrificación y la clase creativa representan. Bebiendo de nociones anticuadas sobre las vanguardias, posicionan al artista como un instrumento de cambio, una influencia positiva, su mera presencia es un síntoma de la recuperación de un barrio en declive.

The Contract

Tents on Tahrir Square, Egypt

There is something treacherously seductive in the shadow play about the artist and the city, that is performed by certain discourses on gentrification and the creative class. Feeding off old-fashioned notions of the avant-garde, it stages the artist as an instrument of change, a positive influence, one whose mere presence is a symptom of a declining neighbourhood's recovery.
