Questions from readings
- readings stress populism – engagement of the public with public art
- One way people can engage w/ public art is by re-interpreting and re-using it for their own purposes. Examples?
- Crown Fountain
- Gen’l Logan
- The Wall
- Picasso
- Who decides what a work of art means? Isn’t the artist’s intention the most important?
- Who should choose works of public art?
- Doesn’t public participation in the creation of a work of art just water it down? (bronze of circle of children at the Glen)
- The city formerly known as Cambridge – brilliant in its choice of one mechanism of acknowledgment of history and importance and meaning creation to re-investigate and reinvest public space with personal and community significance – questions who is in control
- What about the idea of redefining something as a work of art (eg. the Boston Dig)?
