Monday Night Lecture with Prof. Dr. Karl Schawelka
"Public Art: Structural Restraints and How to Deal With Them"
After explaining the distinction between ‚art for the art-system’ on one side and ‚public art’ on the other, I will discuss the successful strategies of officially commissioned public art as well as the restraints involved in this dependency. Then I will deal with the possibilities and limitations of ‚new genre public art’ ‚street art’ and other not officially sanctioned phenomena. Lastly, I will try to show the hidden relations between the latter and the ‚art for the art system’ and mention some of the consequences.
