The purpose of this chapter is to propose a critical examination of the rationale and modes of intervention employed by urban artistic practices. The aim is to illuminate their role in influencing the transformations occurring within historic cities. To this purpose, I will analyze the temporary art-work Loro-Them (Milan, 2019) by artist Krzysztof Wodiczko. I will illustrate how the interpretative stance of the artistic practice connects with memory work when it addresses socio-spatial challenges and processes of change in and of the historic urban context.
