Summary/Abstract: The article argues that the city is a universal and independent exhibition and creative space that lives its own life. This assumption should be considered a starting point for reasoning based on three main issues – the role of the artist and the viewer; volatility (fluidity); and the integration of art into the environment. They give rise to the following questions: What is the artistic activity in the city? What background and what basis is the urban superorganism for art? Who is the artist, the creator, and what is the role of the recipient of the art work? Does space determine creativity, or do works of art create space itself?
