Public Art
AWSS2001
The aim of this unit is to provide students with a broad overview of the issues that influence and inform the production of art in the public sphere: history and theory of public art, policy and management, conservation, community response and evaluation, current local and international practice. It aims to develop each student's ability to critically analyse and be able to enter into debate (both written and spoken) on public art issues, especially its relationship to architecture. Field trips, artist/commissioner talks, case studies, (eg. the Vietnam Memorial in Washington and the Sydney Olympic Public Art Projects) and slide lectures will complement the theoretical content of Public Art.
