Slutty Urbanism: Queering the Ambiguous Relationship Between Art, Public Space and Urban Politics
Date: 2020.1.2, 13:30~15:30
Venue: Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, TNUA
Lecturer: Ying-Tzu Lin
Introduction
‘Slutty Urbanism’ tackles the openings and enclosures in the (digital) urban arena. It addresses issues of diversity, subjectivity, social responsibility and activism. Slutty Urbanism (SU) is a provocative concept. We make use of the metaphor of ‘slut’ in two ways. Symbolically, it expresses the harsh forms of extraction and extreme commodification of urban space through global digital platforms. It goes beyond the cultural-symbolic façade of sharing economy and technological determinism of smart city. Semantically, ‘sluttiness’ has been associated with four major epithets: pathology, sin, amorality and promiscuity. We look at each of them to talk about particular powerful actors reshaping urban space and access to cities. The aim is to address entrepreneurial enclosures, legalistic bureaucracies and cleansed heritage ghettos, our answer should be no longer a constructive one: our counter strategies might be offensive and promiscuous. SU maps the messy nexus of urban space abuse. In this lecture, together with audiences, by applying the lens of SU, we will take a thought experiment to examine the relationship between art, public space and urban politics in our city.
