In Public
Issue 41:2 | August 2021
Guest Editor: Daniel Mudie Cunningham
EOI CALL OUT due 27 May

With consideration of Artlink’s 40-year history, this edition will respond to the Archive to seek a broad view of the ways that artworks and artists operate in public, past and present, including: the construction of a city’s identity and imaginary through public sculpture and memorials; disruption of settler narratives and decolonisation of public monuments; public rituals and collective actions; activism and protest; post-human publics; the increased commercialisation of public space; COVID projects; LGBTQ+ communities, experiences and memorials; and the issues and the opportunities arising from gentrification. Priority will be given to essays, artist and project profiles that support creative producers from Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific.
