Caring and Daring – Public art building common ground?

Description

Art is a symbolic good closely connected to human sensemaking as well as the creation of common grounds. The idea of art for public use, as a shared asset of society and its members, runs through history.

This conference aims to raise new questions and analyse ideas concerning the role and malleability of public art, and the institutional frameworks that interact with actors producing public art or creating incentives to make, initiate, and/or fund it. Who has a say in matters of shared space, what are the limits of commons, and what constitutes public art? What influence comes ultimately with funding, whether private or public? How does ownership of public art evolve and what does it entail?

The conference is organised by the Pufendorf IAS Theme Public Art and the New Commons
