Today, the "public" is most certainly in question, and both public space and
democratic processes seem to be increasingly under attack. The aim of this
symposium is to explore the way in which aesthetic strategies have
contested, and continue to contest the public realm. The first task is to
critically assess the history of artistic engagement within public space,
from the avant-garde tradition thatprojected art into life, to its
Conceptual manifestations and interventions, and the art of institutional
critique. What worked and what didn't, and why? This leads to the second
question asked by the symposium; what use do these strategies have today? Do
they remain relevant, or do we need new tools? To answer we must analyse our
present conditions, particularly the contemporary art world, its
institutions, and their wider economic and political relations to the media
and the rest of the world. Where, the symposium will ask, is the "public"
today, and should it be defended?
