商品簡介
Fourteen American and British practicing artists, curators, activists, art writers, administrators, landscape architects, and educators, as well as one arts group, contribute 16 theoretical and practical essays to an anthology examining the continuing evolution of public art, from contemporary monuments, memorials, and permanently sited works through the expanded forms of socially engaged public art practice and temporary public art projects. Intended as an effort to place public art firmly back into fine art and educational discourse, the text addresses the challenges of public art versus public design, the pedagogy of public art practice, the art commissioning process, and the relationships between public artists and the communities they serve. Also included is discussion of degree-awarding programs for artists in public art education in the U.S. and UK. Illustrated with 44 b&w photographs.
