manifesto

The concept for the the project ‘Public Art Experience’ bases on a philosophical reflection due to the art historian René Kockelkorn about culture, artistic creation, public art and its implementation on society. Five postulates have been declined from up these reflections:

1. The creative act is the essence of art, the artwork is its result
2. The creative act is ephemeral, the artwork can last
3. Public art is not a private act
4. Public art must be discussed
5. Public art is not a financial investment but a cultural asset.
These postulates sum up the project’s cultural objectives and the deeper meaning of the approach chosen to implement them.
