Resumen

TRAQUINO, Marta. The seeds were sown by hand. CIDADES [online]. 2017, n.34, pp.17-29. ISSN 2182-3030.  https://doi.org/10.15847/citiescommunitiesterritories.jun2017.034.art04.

This text proposes a reflexive exercise on the reconfigurations of the meaning and of the intervention's potential that an iconic work of public art (Wheatfield - A confrontation, Agnes Denes, 1982), realized three decades ago, acquires when 'reactivated' in our days by the initiative of the leaders of a powerful process of gentrification. A reflection on its instrumentalization, according to the interests of each of the sponsors, but also on the urban facts that are revealed through what has been lost in it.

Palabras clave : public art; city; gentrification; urban intervention.
