ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on combined geographical research and artistic practice in order to offer a close empirical investigation of the entanglement between socially engaged art, its participants, and its social and material site. It provides a more comprehensive analysis by combining critical ideas about the social construction of art with perspectives taken from critical urban studies such as the power and politics of producing space. The book explores how the neoliberal city should be seen not as an assemblage of neutral objects produced by experts, but as an environment formed through various social practices that involve all its users. It also provides a critical and self-reflexive discussion about the settings of participation that are produced through socially engaged art.
