Humans, 2014.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The art scene has been involved more or less innocently involved in the urban gentrification of big cities ever since the 1970s (in New York). The mechanism was usually simple: gentrification occurred in a neighborhood eyed by realtors and inhabited by vulnerable or simply \u201cundesirable\u201d social groups in the colonial logic of the capitalist real estate market. One or more groups of artists find the area attractive (low rents, \u201cinspiration\u201d) and are allowed a couple of years to settle in. Slowly, but surely, the area becomes interesting for the middle class. Artist owned galleries, bars and \u201cbohemian\u201d cafes crop up and suddenly property values surge. The initial inhabitants can no longer afford the new rents and leave.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the many scenarios in which art is involved in easing the aggressive takeover of urban space by capital.<\/p>\n<p>At an international level, big cultural events (mostly sports-related) with their implicit massive construction work have also been and still are pretexts for the acceleration of gentrification processes. The Winter Olympics in Sochi (2014), the World Cup 2014 and the Summer Olympics of 2016 in Brazil are the most recent examples of this sort. The low-income population in certain areas of interest for realtors is forcefully evicted and driven away under the pretext of construction work for mega-events.<\/p>\n<p>In the context of Romanian post-socialism, especially in Bucharest and Cluj, gentrification has often been accompanied by direct aggression aimed at forcing the eviction of \u201cundesirables\u201d \u2013 forced evictions under various pretexts, from property returned to its pre-socialist owners (real or fabricated) to urban landscape changes. The cultural-artistic environment in Romania has had various positions, most of them ambiguous and sometimes in cahoots with the agents of these processes.<\/p>\n<p>Issue 5 of <b>Gazeta de Art\u0103 Politic<\/b><b>\u0103<\/b> investigates some of these scenarios, especially those connected with the local, Romanian context, but also with the European one (Poland and Portugal) and the international one (Brazil).<\/p>\n<p>The texts and interviews are structured in several directions:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The critical theoretical approaches to gentrification and the role of art in gentrification<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The relationship between art, culture and gentrification in the Romanian and European contexts<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Political strategies of resistance and sabotage using artistic means<\/p>\n<p>The theme of the next issue (6) of the <b>Gazeta<\/b> will be <i>Art, Gender and Sexuality<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Tema GAP 5 Scena artistic\u0103 a fost, \u00eencep\u00e2nd cu anii 70 (\u00een New York), implicat\u0103 \u00een mod mai mult sau mai pu\u021bin inocent \u00een gentrificarea urban\u0103 a diverselor cartiere din marile ora\u0219e.
