An essential artistic approach? The case of the Industrial Heritage Trail in Germany

Guillaume Logé

16/07/2018

The creation of the Industrial Heritage Trail provided a link between and coherence of the various constituents of the Ruhr territory. The trail is an integral part of the region’s founding identity, on which its conception was based. While intended as a tourist trail, it is also a trail that reflects the virtuous exchange between culture and economic and social development.

Guillaume Logé

16/07/2018

The study of the wanderings of children with autism carried out by Fernand Deligny’s network over the course of a decade opens up thinking about the determinants of travel, our ability to express our own mobility identity and the invisible at play in our relationship to space and to others.

Javier Caletrío

16/07/2018

Piketty’s work may open a new perspective to study the relationship between mobility and inequality, one that is more attentive to the diversity of time scales and rhythms in the creation and reproduction of wealth and the distribution of income.

Celebrating the Art of the London Underground

Javier Caletrío

16/07/2018

The forms in which we collectively imagine social life are often reflected in, and in turn inform graphic material used for propaganda and marketing purposes. A retrospective exhibition of posters on the London Underground offered an opportunity to reflect on the shifting ways in which the changing nature of London and its transport have been conceived of.
