Abstract (English)

A document derived from the lecture series "Art and Society," in which the history and future of public space management in Vancouver are related to the problematics of public art. Several texts struggle to identify who and what is "public," addressing architecture, democracy, multiculturalism, the monument, intervention, and the homeless population. With reprinted excerpts from texts by Wodiczko. Brief biographical notes on the eight contributors. 28 bibl. ref.
