my site specific sculptures
revisited | the status quo of my site specific sculpture and
land art
Site specific sculpture and land art as public sculpture
Sometimes site specific sculpture can be located in remote
areas. But in the densest populated part of Europe where I made
many works in the public space, the great challenge is always
the appreciation by the public and possible reactions which
result from that sensitive balance. Sometimes it is a part of
the general public, which can take irresponsible actions; but
even more threatening is the (lack of) sense of responsibility of the
owners themselves - local governments or other public bodies.
When they don't maintain the public space, we can't expect the
public to respect the status quo of their surroundings.
This is why it is always a big step to undertake when I
revisit site specific works in the public domain - especially my
own sculpture.
On these pages I shall give my personal account of my works
revisited - the status quo of public art.
