Beschreibung:
The role of public art after the turn of the millennium is a result of a research project commissioned by the Public Art Agency Sweden by the Art History department at Södertörn University. The book departs from the complex situation that governs public art, permanent and temporary, whether commissioned and sanctioned by private or public funds or through on individual initiative. Art is discussed here as ongoing projects or discrete works of art, its function as value-creating, security-creating, commemorative as well as being part of short participation processes and/or acting over a long period of time.[Bokinfo]
