| "The
measure of any great civilisation is in its cities, and a measure
of a city's greatness is to be found in the quality of its public
spaces, its parks and its squares." John Ruskin |
| |
| The
Public Garden was concerned with the collaboration of landscape
architects and designers with artists on public realm projects.
|
|
| It explored: the current experience of visual art programmes
- installations and events - looked at the effect of art and regeneration
in shaping experiences of rural and urban parks - considered projects
for diverse natural and managed green public and private space. |
|
| Drawing
on experiences from a range of professionals in the field and
focusing current developments, the conference considered:
catalysts for change concerned with the identity of site and
place - artists involved in the process of engaging a new audience
for art and environment through tourism and marketing - the
role of local and regional public bodies in the development
of public space - emerging attitudes towards ecological and
sustainable land use - the legacy left to future generations. |
