|a The presence of art in public places is not a new phenomenon. Through the centuries, the public art movement has demonstrated its dynamic nature by the utilization of different styles of art and the changing functions of this art form. Public art distinguishes itself from other forms of art by its greater accessibility to the community. It is not simply a form of self-expression by the public artist, but rather, a response to the needs or desires of the members of a community. Consequently, public art should be defined not simply as art located in public places, but moreover, art that builds and affirms community identity while creating more distinct and engaging environments. In the consumeristic society of the modern world, many people feel isolated, disconnected, and uncertain of their place in this world. Public art can serve not only an aesthetic function, but moreover, promote a humanistic ethic centered on human interests and values. Recent public art projects in Los Angeles and Miami demonstrate this new movement in the field of public art and support this new definition. The dialogue which takes place between the public artist and the members of a community ensures that the artwork reflects the genuine feelings, authentic experiences, and highest ideals of the community. The challenge is to increase the awareness and appreciation of public art and to educate the public of the significance of its role in improving quality of life. |
