Public Art Needs Time Limits

3 December 2009
Spike Island, Bristol

Public Art Needs Time Limits was one of three seminars, devised by Situations and ixia in response to the provocative statement What Public Art Needs Now! This seminar looked at One Day Sculpture to examine how conventional forms of monumental public art have become increasingly challenged through dispersed, temporary, event-based and interventionist forms of artistic practice.
