Beyond being set up as an info point on the overall project Spaţiul Public Bucureşti | Public Art Bucharest 2007, the website www.spatiul-public.ro aims at creating also a contextual frame for this project and at opening it towards different directions which can be explored by the public themselves.
“References” is a special chapter on the website, representing a selection of public art projects realized by artists from different countries and generations. It does not represent a history of public art or an objective overview of practices in this field, rather it brings into discussion a series of successful examples which show how a critical consciousness in the public sphere can be raised or kept through artistic interventions.
Each article contains a brief description of the project, a biography of the artist, a list of bibliographical titles and web links as well as one or more pictures.
The selection of projects, writing and editing of the materials is done by Marius Babias, Helga Just Christoffersen and Raluca Voinea.
