Good or Bad Idea: The Community as Public Art Practitioner
Feature
Maggie Baxter

If art in community places isn't for the community using those places, then who is it for? Should all art in public places have immediate community appeal, or reflect those communities in some way, or even have community contributions? And if the answer to any of these is yes, need this impinge on the quality of the art?

David Cranswick

Over the past decade there has been a significant increase in the number of public art projects directed at the improvement of the quality of public environments. Looks at two projects 'Restoring the Waters' in Fairfield (NSW) involving the artists Michaelie Crawford and Jennifer Turpin and the East Perth Greenway Project by artist Nola Farman.

Marking the 2000 Moment: Sydney Pulls Out the Stops
Feature
Gene Sherman

Sculpture is often considered a difficult medium. Public art is frequently controversial.

Putting Art in the Landscape
Feature
Alex Selenitsch

Looks at Herring Island Environmental Sculpture Park, Victoria and the issues which surround putting art into parks and public spaces. Unlike the specialised designs of the contemporary art gallery, the 'environment' is a bundle of concepts distributed across the city and suburbs.

Shelf life, Use by Date and Other Related Issues
Feature
Robyn Taylor

Isn't it about time we showed artists and our public artworks a little more respect? We coaxed artists out of their studios to put their creative souls on public display, and now many of those life enhancing objects are looking unloved, forlorn and neglected.
