Arts and the city

This week on CW, Matt Trueman and Miriam Gillinson review more shows from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including inspirational feminist nudity, didactic Iraq war drama, smart and funny but fleeting romance, and scary psychological exposure of audiences. The usual, then.

Meanwhile Aiman Baharna looks at the vexed question of whether and how the public should be consulted about the public art that appears in our streets and public spaces, in a essay reflecting on an RSA debate on the subject, as well as the ‘Big Art’ project, and raising deeper questions about the meaning of artistic autonomy.
