Course detail
FaVU-UMFPAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course focuses on the basic strategies of placing works of art in public space within the Central European cultural framework from the 19th century to the present. It will introduce their specific functions and formal solutions, as well as the changing content of the terms "the public/the public one", "public space" and "collective representation", both in the contemporary discourse and in selected sociological, empirical and art history approaches. Through representative examples the students will be acquainted with the variable relationship of heteronomy and autonomy on the axis of a political assignment and an artistic solution, as virtually every artistic work in public space can be understood as a political act with political implications. In addition to the strategies of placing art in public space, a special attention will be paid to their disposal: the so-called "minus effect" that accompanies the removal of "undesirable" sculptural works (especially memorials). This practice is also linked with the heritage protection of both official and civic nature. The first part of the course will present "a history of city construction" and installation of artworks in relation to urban design. We will also focus on the current situation where traditional urban monuments are beginning to lose their symbolic significance and visual appeal, and artists seek (often outside the official institutions) to create alternative interventions in public space and at the same time to seek more effective expression strategies aimed at the wide - and very diversified - urban audience. We are also interested in the process of the appropriation of these subversive artistic expressions by the power representation. These topics will be reflected through the crucial category of urban public space.
