have not posted in sooooo longsies!!!!anyway, so, public art. There is a lot of ground to cover, I have found, so I am breaking it all up into pieces. I thought a good thing to include is impermanent public art-focused events tha happen in Sydney such as Sculpture by the Sea (here and with an emphasis on 'sculpture') and Art and About (next week with a focus on art as well as community).
These events provide a great catalyst for public relationships with artworks and also allow artists a little more freedom as they do not need to consider the long-term necessities required by permanent works. They are a good testing ground to see what people respond to and also, in a sense, 'educate' people in relating to and interacting with public art. I have a theory that the more art you put out there the less likely it is that things will get damaged as people get used to having it around.
And hey! keep those favourites rolling in!! You can post a comment or email me michelle@byreefknot.net. Wootang. xxx
