During the firs class of Public Arts & Performance we discussed following aspects:
what public arts are
is any art that is not in the gallery/determined space the public art
what is public place
why sb decided to make it public
why to make decision to go against gallery restrictions
the importance choice, decision
crossover between public arts and architecture
‘field’ as a spacial metaphor
modern art, moved from the gallery system
historicism philosophy
space – is that something that exist, just an area to fill in, or something that we make, create
artworks to look at:
Jeremy Deller Baghdad car
What is this? – a car damaged in the bombing of the historic Mutanabbi Street book market, which resulted in the deaths of 38 people.
The piece is provoking, it leads to the question – is this an art?
Rather than to be created by an artist hands ‘Baghdad car’ is Deller’s personal manifest against the war.
Whats it’s message? – this is what war does, shows the impact of war on the people.
Richard Serra ‘Tilted Arc’ as an example of Public Art
