The Everyday Practice of Public Art: Art, Space, and Social Inclusion

This multidisciplinary anthology is the first to explicitly address both the pedagogy and geographies of socially-engaged public art practice.

Topics include: constructing new models for developing and commissioning temporary and performance based public artworks; the social inclusiveness of public art; the radical developments in public art and social practice pedagogy; and unraveling the relationships between public artists and the communities they serve.

Complete with a visual timeline providing historical context, The Everyday Practice of Public Art is an essential guide to the increasingly complex nature of artists practicing in the public realm in the twenty-first century.
