| CONTENT: |
| The Present
State -
Foreword by Jeremy Hunt - The
redesign of Britain's failing urban infrastructure...was rebranded as
"regeneration," and art merged with concepts of space, place, and
community. |
| Culture
Tanks on the Lawn of Society: Public Art's New Role in
England by Jeremy Hunt
-
Art
is expected to improve education in impoverished schools, raise health
standards, reduce crime, compensate derelict neighbourhoods, reverse
the decline of heavy industry, and encourage ethnic inclusion and
active citizenship. |
| Notes
from Wales - Wiard Sterk
- Urban Legacies. Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Heads of the Valleys. |
| The
Accidental Character of Public Art in
Scotland - Penny Lewis -
Some art organizations and artists may
complain about the fruitless consultation exercises and a lack of
support from the Scottish Arts Council and its political masters, but
public art in Scotland may have benefitted from being overlooked. |
| Irish
Public Art Practice - Annette Moloney - The Percent for Art Scheme.
The Regeneration of Ballymun |
| The
Art of becoming Civil in Northern Ireland: Practice-Based
Research at INTERFACE - Ian Banks -
Re-Imagining Communities: evolving
from a "society (that)
valued the warrior as
the person who could protect society" to one that valued
the civilian,
or "civil man."
(A. C. Grayling) |
| The Present State Revisited - The
U.K.'s public art boom is being powered by an ambitious culture
ministry and widespread urban renewal. A team of experts weighs in on
some specific promises and problems of a very public public art scene. |
|
Building
Cultures: One Rebellion at a Time:
A Manifesto of Possibilities - Cameron Cartiere - The concern for many
artists now is that arts commissions and funding bodies need to be
reeducated to have realistic expectations of art in the public realm. |
|
Artists
Taking the Lead: Visionary Shift in
U.K. Arts Policy or Just Cultural Spin? - Ian Banks - The small-print
conditions that dictate the nature of public art are becoming
increasingly political and economic. |
|
30
Years of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park -
Peter Murray - "the
convergence of an educated idealism among students,
a perfect venue of cultivated and wild landscape, access to works of
art and a responsive public" Bryan
Robertson |
|
Art
and the BBC: Two Media Art Commissions
and a Program - Isabel Vasseur - Such
is the strong desire of the media
to be linked to celebrity. |
|
The
Art of Common Space - Eileen Woods - Seventeen individuals from
seven countries came together...to construct
a series of concepts for a new work - large scale, site specific,
collaborative. |
|
Artists
Crossing Borders - Laura Danielson
- Remember how easy it
is for a foreign artist to enter the U. S.
without prior permission if he or she intends to display artwork
created elsewhere? The Brits don't allow this. |
