Nu avem alta sansa decat sa acceptam. Arta publica in lupta cu
diferite interese | We have no chance, but take it. Public art
in the struggle of different interests
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In mod inevitabil artistii sunt prinsi
intr-un context de interese contradictoriu atunci cand isi propun
sa gandeasca proiecte pentru spatiul public. In timp ce curatorii
si institutiile din tarile Europei Centrale incep sa discute despre
posibilitatile strategice ale interventiilor site-specific, iar
administratorii oraselor occidentale sa stabileasca structuri
pentru realizarea in cele mai bune conditii a proiectelor de arta
publica, primele dezbateri asupra stagnarii potentialului vizionar
al artei publice sunt lansate. O
scurta introducere in imagini a diferitelor proiecte din ultimii
ani în Europa, precum si a interventiilor care au pregatit
initierea programului publicartvienna vor constitui punctul de
plecare pentru o discutie despre statutul actual al artei in spatiul
public propusa de curatorul si teoreticianul vienez Roland Schöny.

Automatically artists appear in a contradictory
context of interests, when they intend to conceptualize projects
for the public space. In general they are confronted with awarding
authorities, who wish to get aesthetical furniture and decorations
for urban situations codified with the signature of prominence.
Or artists should be part of the increasing trend to activate
and animate the inhabitants of suburban quarters. Especially in
western metropolises artistic interventions and practises, which
are understood as advanced service to the public and as a part
of the discourse around participation, seem to become trivial
routine. On the other hand permanent and autonomous artistic works
in the public sphere are staged near the sensitive borderline
of appropriation by the forces of political representation. Frequently
public art is seen as a contemporary element of city marketing.
A short visual overview on different projects of the last years
in Europe together with projects and interventions, that initialized
the take off of publicartvienna will be the fundament for a differentiated
discussion of the present status of art in the public sphere.
