About the book
No Room to Move looks back on the recent era of highly instrumentalised public art making in the UK. Focusing on artists and consultants who have engaged critically with the exclusionary politics of urban regeneration, the authors’ analysis locates such practice within a schematic history of urban development’s neoliberal mode.
Breaking down into a report and a collection of interviews, this investigation consistently focuses on the forms and, indeed, possibility of critical public art within a regime that fetishes ‘creativity’ whilst systematically destroying its preconditions in its pursuit of capital accumulation.
