Public Art Based on the Mutual Communication and Community Methodology
The Journal of Aesthetics and Science of Art
-
This essay begins with the question why the public feels displeasure in public art. It raises a question of wether the public art that is planned and executed by public funds performs its role as public art for members of the community. I explore criteria for the public art for interests of members of the society, the importance of mutual communication in the process of creating a public art, communal methods of based on the mutual communication. To suggest the methods for creating a proper public art, I examine the development of the public art which changed from the site specific, to the issue specific, and to the community specific. Instead the existing methods of the categorization which focused on artworks, I emphasize the public who relates oneself to artworks. Throughout the discussion, I underscore the importance of the mutual communication. I suggest detailed methods for amicable mutual communication and call them community methodologies. For detailed action plans, I suggest the organization of a counsel, the activation of debates, the equal relationship between participating members, a long-term planning, and the post-evaluation system.
