Not real sure why this is just about public art i think it is about all art. what is public art persay? Any anything anyone can see is public. There will be no secrets in the future. What then is private art? i could replace the words "public art" in most of these phrases with" artist" and they still apply. Ex; I am for artist/ public art that/who aspires to rise above the stature of "merely appealing". I am for artist/public art who/that makes room for irony, earnestness,satire, juxtaposition,contradiction, and revolution. . I am for open spaces and artist and childern yes children in costumes with bombsacting out with bombs and balloons in these places. NO No wait. Tangent. sorry. Point is a I agree with many of these statements but they could be true for other topics not just public art. Being in Charlotte my experience of public art has greatly diminished, sad to say. i really need a vacation- somewhere there's lots of beautifully wrong profoundly erotic and explosive public art that is evolving as I am looking at it and perhapsI am contributing to the evolving. Utopian perhaps but Auntie M Auntie M where is this place? Can it be here ? just in my mind. Been so long since I have gotten out of this town i think I may have almost lost my death grip on the memory of a thriving and uncompromising art scene. Infact I wonder if I imagined it all. OK now I'm sad this sucks! I need public art good public art crazy wildly costumed creatures chanting releasing praying jestating. Things are all to calm a nd placid. Where is this spice that is truely public art. I am for public art that belongs to the public and is created for and by the public and it should be voted on then tossed out and then the public art anarchist guerillas should come at nite and make art as they see. fit. Art iss for everyone. I remeber teaching the kids in this slightly ghetto neighbor hood i lived in how to spray paint cause i knew they were doin it cause i saw their juevinille attempts so i taught them some skillz and the graffitti, or our neighborhoods version of public art improved. whether or not people believe that risk is a permanent condition it is. We risk so much every day without even knowing it. I am for public art that increases awareness of the public and the space that the art and the public occupy.
