Rasa Antanaviciute, Ula Tornau, Audrius Ambrasas, Tomas Vaiseta - SCULPTURE IN PUBLIC SPACES: VALUES OF ARTISTS, CLIENTS AND THE PUBLIC
NON-COLOBORATION - ON SCULPTURE
Diverse experiences of the panel will reveal why the artists’ relation to the public and contemporary art remains so complicated. Is the idea of a Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset expressed in the article “The Dehumanization of Art” still relevant: “Let us remember that in epochs with two different types of art, one for minorities and one for the majority, the latter has always been realistic”?
Discussion with art critics Rasa Antanavičiūtė and Ula Tornau, architect Audrius Ambrasas and historian Tomas Vaiseta moderated by Elona Lubytė.

The concept of what it meant to be „a normal soviet Citizen“ proposed by the study is interesting and convincing in many ways. The interpretation of the ties people had with the official ideological discourse and their "deterritorialized" lives might help us understand why we still have such complicated relation to public space.
A photograph of Mindaugas Navakas piece "The Hook" was chosen for the cover of the book. Moreover, a text "Going Public: Strategies of Intervention in Lithuania" by Laima Kreivytė is included in the publication.
Recommended by Tomas Vaiseta.
