But the abandonment of a place which should be filled with life is a huge aspect of the liminal art movement. It speaks to the hollowing out of public life in north america and britain.


Is the abandonment of places that should be filled with life a defining aspect of today? Which places? Malls & COVID? I guess they exist but are they especially prevalent today?


Yes, a lot of public spaces are dying or dead. If you don't have these spaces in your area you are certainly the only exception.


> a lot of public spaces are dying or dead

How are you quantifying that? Is there somewherei can go to read about it?


I can just go walk around my hometown of Seattle and see all the dead or torn-down shopping malls.
