What is public art? Is it only sculpture?
Public art stands for art objects exhibited in public areas or outside museums and galleries and it belongs to the public. It can take various forms, the most traditional of which are sculptures and murals. New forms include videos, happenings and even social events, which found their ways in the 1980s. Public art can also serve a social function. It is not just an art object to be viewed aesthetically. It can be interpreted as a channel to present community interests in public space. There are new concepts in public art such as site specificity and functionality emphasizing an interactive relationship between the works, locations, and their viewers or users.
