Public Art in a Post-Growth World
Public art commissioner Fiona Boundy, who realised Future Fossil in Milton Keynes, hosts a conversation exploring how the commissioning of art works within the public realm can support civic placemaking ambitions, creating meaningful interventions, which help to shape the cities of the future. The Talk takes Milton Keynes as a starting point specifically exploring how the new town’s public art collection has helped create a distinct sense of place, whilst also reflecting various and changing approaches to commissioning. Looking further afield, the discussion will also introduce international examples of public artworks, which have captured and reflected a political or social zeitgeist, delivering lasting change within an urban context.
