ARTMargins Online Examines Urban Art Spaces in Budapest, Vienna, and London

Allan Siegel authored an article for ARTMargins Online in April 2004, analyzing new social spaces for art in major European cities. The piece focused on Millenaris Park in Budapest, the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, and Tate Modern in London. It explored the relationship between art and the indeterminacy of urban society, using a quote from Michel Foucault's 1986 essay "Of Other Spaces." The article considered the city as both a physical and figurative context, describing it as the model for the contemporary world and the origin point for most journeys. It noted the expansion of large urban concentrations in developing countries and the emergence of new urban schemes. The work was published on the ARTMargins Online platform, which features critical writing on contemporary art from Central and Eastern Europe and beyond.
