Abstract
Nowadays cities deal with more and more complex problems so need to search for new planning tools. The urban changes with the reduction of inhabitants and reuse of abandoned industrial areas, request also more participation in regeneration processes and attention to quality of life. As well as in art there is a process of continuous change, the artwork are coming out of museums, there is more contact between artists and the public with a greater emotional participation. Currently artists are often involved in dialogue on the city, entering in the urban requalification processes with a sustainable approach that put emphasis on the process more then on the art objects, and take into account also social intents. Therefore all that move towards an interaction among professionals with different skills to "make cities", creating relationships and opportunities for an effective dialogue (Inguaggiato, 2009). In this framework started Manifesta art biennal with the aim of redrawing Europe after the post-Cold-War in order to engage critically with the new peripheries. Manifesta interacts every two years in a different European city with the aim not only to induce an "alternative aesthetic vision to the local", but also to offer "heterotopic sites of emergent cultural production" (Papastergiadis N., Martin M., 2011). That is shown in particular in Palermo in which recovery and reuse of remarkable building and gardens give a background for citizens and artists, but in particular for visitors to rethink together the City. Even if in the last decades the use of culture, and art, as a tool to stimulate urban regeneration and local economic development is increasing employed, and there are analysis on participatory art as a tool for civic engagement there is not sufficient investigation on the topic. This analysis is part of a study that CNR IRISS is conducting on this art event to obtain from the experiences some meaningful elements that could help to give a framework for a cross-sectional analysis. This paper will illustrate the experience of Manifesta 12 The Planetary Garden: Cultivating Coexistence that was "preceded and informed by Palermo Atlas, an urban study by OMA/AMO commissioned by Manifesta 12 and the city of Palermo" (http://m12.manifesta.org/oma-urban-study/).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
