Theme at the Pufendorf Institute for Advance Studies

Public art raises complex questions on ownership, maintenance, restoration, changes and destruction. The Theme Public Art and The New Commons explores the economic, cultural, social, legal, political and organizational ramifications of public art. The Theme 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.
