The Routledge Companion to Art in the Public Realm by Cameron Cartiere (Editor); Leon Tan (Editor)ISBN: 9781138325302
Publication Date: 2020
"This multidisciplinary companion offers a comprehensive overview of the global arena of public art. It is organized around four distinct topics, activation, social justice, memory and identity and ecology, with a final chapter mapping significant works of public and social practice art around the world between 2008-2018. The thematic approach brings into view similarities and differences in the recent globalization of public art practices, while the multidisciplinary emphasis allows for a consideration of the complex outcomes and consequences of such practices, as they engage different disciplines and communities and affect a diversity of audiences beyond the existing 'art world.'
