Pathological behaviour, pathogenic factors (social and cultural conditions) or other processes affecting the aforementioned situations are constantly present in human life. It can be said that there is a considerable diversity and complexity of such phenomena. The issues of social pathologies discussed in the article concern only selected phenomena, and yet they make the recipients aware of the scale of the problem.

Tychy to miasto wyjątkowe. Decyduje o tym historia jego powstawania, rozwoju i rozbudowy. Jako miasto rodzące się w duchu socjalistycznym stanowić miało unaocznienie obowiązującej ideologii – przestrzennego zastosowania z góry opracowanego planu. Założenia te nie przetrwały jednak próby czasu. W okresie kilkudziesięciu lat budowy zachodziły ciągłe zmiany programowe, lokalizacyjne, terytorialne oraz systemowe. Miało to decydujący wpływ na kształt przestrzenny miasta, determinując jego zróżnicowany charakter, ale i zróżnicowany odbiór. Przez jednych Tychy postrzegane są jako przykład eklektycznej i niespójnej realizacji różnych wizji, dla drugich stanowią niepowtarzalną prezentację historii architektury i urbanistyki ostatnich sześćdziesięciu lat. Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest próbie obłaskawienia i praktycznego wykorzystania zróżnicowanej przestrzeni miejskiej przez stworzenie Szlaku miejskiego – inicjatywy podjętej przez Urząd Miasta Tychy i Muzeum Miejskiej, polegającej na opracowaniu systemu oznakowania obszarów i obiektów atrakcyjnych kulturowo.

Tychy is a unique city. It is because of how it was created and developed. As a city built in socialist realism, it was supposed to constitute the ideology – applying the earlier prepared plan. However, its assumptions did not stand the test of time. When the city was being built, many changes connected with the programme, location and system were made. It has had agreat impact on what the town looks like, determining its diverse character but also its diverse reception. Some people perceive Tychy as an example of eclectic and inconsistent realization of different visions. For the other ones, it a unique presentation of the history of architecture and urbanism in the last sixty years. This article attempts to tame and to use the diverse urban space by creating the urban trail – the initiative of Municipal Council in Tychy and Museum in Tychy. Its major assumption was to create a system of marking places, which are culturally interesting.

In 2016, the title of the European Capital of Culture was awarded to Wrocław. To celebrate the year of 2016 citizens could partake in many cultural initiatives prepared specially for this occasion. The proposals aimed at the people of Wrocław included the ECC 2016 Microgrants program, under which any citizen could realize, gain funding, as well as obtain administrative and promotional support for their designed cultural activity. Field studies conducted during the first two editions of the program served as the basis for a report, which includes conclusions regarding the perception of the urban space submitted by task performers. Low-budget cultural activities proved to be an excellent pretext for the citizens to reconsider the issues of public space in Wrocław, access to cultural events or the manner of constructing official discourses about the city and its space. This article focuses on the issue of space in the context of Microgrants 2016 and presents the outcomes of the fieldwork.

Pablo Helguera (Mexico City, 1971) is a New York based artist working with installation, sculpture, photography, drawing, socially engaged art and performance. Helguera’s work focuses in a variety of topics ranging from history, pedagogy, sociolinguistics, ethnography, memory and the absurd, in formats that are widely varied including the lecture, museum display strategies, musical performances and written fiction. His work as an educator has usually intersected his interest as an artist. This intersection is best exemplified in his project, The School of Panamerican Unrest (2003–2006), a nomadic think-tank that physically crossed the American continent by car from Anchorage, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, making 40 stops in between. Covering almost 20,000 miles, it is considered one of the most extensive public art projects on record as well as a pioneering work for the new generation of artworks regarded under the area of socially engaged art. The contribution, in the form of a conversation, will retrace Helguera’s work to focus on questions of publicness, art and participation in a moment in which socially engaged practices are increasingly established in the contemporary art realm. By articulating the artist’s strategies and operating methodologies, the aim is to shed light on ways in which art can contribute to widen the public discourse on the social and political life and create accessible spaces of meeting, confrontation and dialogue, in which a counter- narrative to the dominant neoliberal frame work can take place.

This article presents a creative and destabilising function of art created in urban public space. This public space is here seen according to the view of belgian philosopher Chantal Mouffe as agon - battleground and confrontation of hegemonic projects. Public art is one approach to take the floor in a public debate this is why it has a political character. Krzysztof Wodiczko is a creator of this type of art who postulates creation through democratic public space art and promotes public domain. This article particularly shows his concept contained in “The Abolition of War” publication.

Artykuł prezentuje działania, mające na celu ożywienie przestrzeni publicznych Starego Miasta w Bydgoszczy i dostosowanie ich do współczesnych potrzeb i oczekiwań mieszkańców. Głównym motywem regeneracji staromiejskiej przestrzeni publicznej i zwiększenia atrakcyjności obszaru może stać się kultura, twórczość artystyczna i tradycje historyczne. Powodzenie procesu przekształceń zależy jednak od uwzględnienia dwóch jego aspektów: przedmiotowego i podmiotowego. Aspekt przedmiotowy to działania w sferze materialnej (poprawa jakości i stanu technicznego przestrzeni publicznej, zmiana funkcji budynków, wprowadzenie małej architektury, zieleni itd.). Aspekt podmiotowy to zaangażowanie do procesu przekształceń jak najszerszego grona uczestników. Artykuł pokazuje próby włączenia do współpracy właścicieli nieruchomości, najemców, środowisk twórczych, organizacji i stowarzyszeń. Skuteczność zaproponowanego kierunku przekształceń zależna jest bowiem od spójności i jednoczesności działań prowadzących do osiągnięcia wspólnego celu – ożywienia przestrzeni publicznych i nadania im charakteru przestrzeni kreatywnych, wypełnionych sztuką i współtworzonych przez artystów i mieszkańców

The oldest part of Bydgoszcz was historically formed as a consequence of many social and economic processes. The streets that used to accommodate trade and social interaction have now lost their significance and so the historic city centre is not attractive to the city inhabitants anymore. Therefore, there is a need to bring vitality back through accommodating current public needs and expectations. Looking for new attractive functions to boost the area, we established that culture, art and tradition can play an important role in functional transformation, consequently leading the regeneration process of public spaces in the old city centre. Firstly, the quality of public spaces is to be improved through renovations of old apartment-houses, as well as resurfacing streets and public spaces. At the same time, a series of initiatives are being undertaken in order to change the functions of commercial premises and to introduce more attractive green spaces and small architecture. Our initiatives are put into action through collaboration with property owners, cultural associations, and many others. These actions are coordinated by the City Council. It is important for our initiatives to be approved by all concerned organizations and to be undertaken in parallel with cohesion aiming to bring vitality to public spaces in the form of areas thriving with art created jointly by artists and city inhabitants.

Creativity is one of the most desirable features of the twenty-first century. A framework in the form of education, culture, and the relevant characteristics of the city space must exist (be created) to develop a creative attitude. City, like other spheres of human life, is changing. City has its own physical, intellectual, creative energy and like every organism evolves depending on the circumstances, related to the social, economic and cultural turbulent changes in the globalizing world. A possibility to direct contact between people, exchange thoughts, ideas and values, which is happening in suitable public space, which is open and encouraging the integration is particularly important in modern conditions.

Rivers have been an important element of urban development for centuries, affecting human life and providing a number of functions connected with commerce, defence, transport, communication and culture. Today’s river-city relationship takes on a completely different dimension and is considered through the prism of the beauty which shapes the urban landscape and is a key element in integrating its inhabitants. It affects the city’s economic fabric, for instance through increased tourism and investment. Besides, it provides an impetus for the implementation of numerous architectural and urban projects whose task is to integrate its space or, as is often the case, insure the future viability of the riverside, including former port areas. Therefore the aim of this paper is to analyse projects which represent so-called best practice in the restoration of city riverside areas using examples from Western European cities which have experienced the implementation of such projects. The paper presents an analysis of cities selected due to the availability of source materials: Düsseldorf, the largest revitalised area, followed by London and Hamburg, the smallest. It should be emphasised that the author will continue her research on the former port areas, focusing mainly on the German sites.

The testimonies of several eyewitnesses of the conflict over the prestigious role of the baldachin bearer during the liturgical procession of the Feast of the Corpus Christi, which took place between two Italian nobles in 1605 in Prague, allow a detailed analysis of its course. Its interpretation is placed in the context of the importance of public space, which at the beginning of the 17th century in the multi-confessional milieu of the city with the imperial seat became a place of a struggle for influence between the Catholic minority and the non-Catholic majority.

Crowdfunding is a form of funding projects (business, scientific, social, artistic, etc.) based on small but numerous payments, collected mainly through Internet communities. The article presents the current state of interest in this form of public art funding, both in Poland, and abroad. The analysis of crowdfunding websites shows several features of this mechanism used for public art funding. It encourages artists to engage in more active participation on the Internet, especially on social networks’ level, which is particularly important in the all-or-nothing financing system. Crowdfunding also encourages people to be more active citizens, as financial support for specific projects in the field of public art is not only an endorsement, but also a real act of participation in the processes of creation of public space. On the other hand, crowdfunding has very limited ability to control and influence the artistic and social value of projects. Reliance on the “wisdom of the crowd” may therefore lead to the promotion of mediocre initiatives, neither presenting a high aesthetic value, nor bonded to the space in which they are to be found. There are also other risks associated with crowdfunding of public art, such as the risk of rollover of such initiatives from public institutions (e.g. local governments) solely on the shoulders of citizens, or the lack of intellectual property protection.

The main claim of the article is that everyday aesthetics conceived as a philosophical analysis of everyday objects and situations offers a theoretical perspective that may be applied to the aesthetics of public space. Analysed in aesthetic terms, the public space may be thought to be a space that offers an aesthetic experience to the widest possible public. I contend that the aesthetic quality of public space should be a quality that favours positive experiences of the everyday, banal practices taking place in it. Accordingly, designing public space should consist in making it “everyday experience-friendly.” My argument will be illustrated by the example of a site-specific installation, the Oxygenator, created in Warsaw by Joanna Rajkowska, whose intention was to offer people an ordinary place where they could meet in a “healthy atmosphere.”

The article presents the contemporary cultural landscape of the historical workers’ settlements, located within the current administrative boundaries of the city of Katowice. Selected building complexes are standardized in terms of typology and building design, but differ in terms of the conservation status and forms of protection. The aim of the discussion is to show the relationship between the artistic and architectural aesthetics and public spaces related to the industry. The subject matter is an attempt to draw attention to the problem of the conservation status of most parts of the historical complexes of residential buildings in Upper Silesia, their untapped potential and declining values.

In this paper I bring closer some of the aspects of my work, I show the approach to the space when working in public locations. The components of this approach are a careful observation of the environment, spending time with the locals, talking to them, taking into account the symbolic nature of the contents brought by the people. So I quote and comment some of the dialogues that happened between me and the passers by during a four week creative intervention in the city’s oldest street.

The thesis of my paper is that art participatory practices in public space have a paradoxical potential to avoid a paradigm of visibility. What I call the paradigm of visibility is a formula of social presence of art which is based on a necessity of occupying a certain physical or symbolical space and an effort to sustain it. This kind of public presence of art is traditionally considered to be a guarantee of its value in terms of both artistic and social legitimisation. A question arises if this formula has an alternative. It seems that participatory art practices in public space – focused on production of objects and searching for social impact and social efficacy – can formulate a different model of presence of art (of its production and distribution) than object-based art.

The quality of public spaces has an impact on the ąuality of life of city dwellers. The way the value of the specific components of certain spaces is perceived depends on the use of individual land. We pay attention to its aesthetics, functionality, selection and arrangement of the appropriate elements of which it is composed. However, wanting to create and receive a better and new ąuality of public spaces, we should get to know what their role in the historical development of cities was, who the recipients are and what they evaluate, who and what shapes the space, what elementsit consists of, how to create it, and whether there are any restrictions as far as its development is concerned. This article discussesthe above issues and introduces the reader to an image of contemporary public space.

Jakość przestrzeni publicznych ma wpływ na jakość życia mieszkańców miasta. Postrzeganie i odczuwanie wartości elementów tworzących określoną przestrzeń zależy od sposobu użytkowania poszczególnych terenów. Zwracamy uwagę na jej estetykę, funkcjonalność, odpowiedni dobór i uporządkowanie elementów, z jakich się składa. Jednakże chcąc tworzyć i odbierać lepszą, nową jakość przestrzeni publicznych, powinniśmy poznać, jakie było ich znaczenie w historycznym rozwoju miast, jacy są ich odbiorcy i co oceniają, kto i co kształtuje przestrzeń, z jakich elementów się ona składa, w jaki sposób należy ją tworzyć i czy są jakieś ograniczenia w jej rozwoju. Artykuł, prezentując powyższe zagadnienia, przybliża czytelnikowi obraz współczesnej przestrzeni publicznej.

The article presents relations occurring between the structure of city centers and that of public spaces in Lublin. It examines the problem of polycentricism of urban areas, relations between centers, and those between centers and their vicinity. It also analyses the structure of public spaces, its continuity, legibility, and its basic elements, particularly in terms of their morphology and quality of space arrangement. Results of comparative analysis of both urban structures are presented.

Red Square is a symbolic place for the Moscow dissidence protests. Russian artists, writers and dissidents have frequently used the history of the square’s memory as a crucial and fundamental issue within the framework of their strategy. Haunting images associated with Red Square’s past, permanently returning in the history of the Russian activism, always refer both to universal narratives of the politics of protest and to the specific contexts producing entirely new meanings. Each time, through their public actions artists create new meanings for the Red Square’s space – they expose the existing limits of the power apparatus and call for the right to legitimize it, therefore contesting the links between the theatre of legitimacy and the public space. From this perspective, the space of protest becomes a fundamental instrument of political action, and the square - ordinarily used in the established order to manifest the government’s symbolic authority - this time becomes a kind of technique as well as a material body support in the politics of resistance.
