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.

Palavras-chave : public art; city; gentrification; urban intervention.
