Abstract

"Critical Spatial Practice," an editorial by Henk Slager published in MaHKUscript. Journal of Fine Art Research in 2016, introduces the second issue's focus on the evolving field of spatial practice. Slager emphasizes the necessity for innovative, research-driven strategies that merge artistic and analytical methodologies to address contemporary urban challenges. He highlights the emergence of "Critical Spatial Practice," a convergence of art, architecture, planning, and design aimed at rethinking urban processes and the politicization of space. This approach seeks to counteract the technocratic and neoliberal forces shaping public spaces and entrepreneurial cities today. Slager poses critical questions about the concepts defining this field, the role of artistic research, and the integration of these practices into art education, setting the stage for further discussion and exploration within the issue.
