ABSTRACT
Creativity takes place. That is to say, it occurs in specific locations, but also it requires space for its realization. Creativity in place refers to the role that a particular location, or time-space conjunction, has in facilitating the creative process: think for example of fin-de-siècle Vienna, Silicon Valley, or Hollywood. Creativity of place refers to the ways in which space itself is an artifact in the creative practice or output, as when a dancer moves an arm through an arc or a photographer crops an image to create a representational space. The simplest creative acts are fraught with geographies that instruct the spectator how to see, but also hide things from us.
