Art in Public Spaces

From monuments and murals to sculpture, light installations, and temporary interventions, art in public spaces shapes the way we experience our cities and shared environments. Yet works that live outside the gallery raise a distinctive set of questions about who commissions them, who owns them, who cares for them, and what happens when they fall out of favour. This one-day conference brings together artists, curators, public authorities, and legal specialists to examine the field as it stands today.
