PUBLIC SCULPTURE?
I was invited to hold
the opening annual conferences of QUAM 2004 which was dedicated to discuss
public sculpture. I was more interested in the subject concerning public
space like a platform for the intervention inside the institutionalized
discourses more than the objects-sculptures. Therefore, I decided to turn
my discourse into a public intervention and to try discovered the different
interest around the objects-sculptures. The aim was to reveal these questions
that I am constantly confronted with being an artist who pretends to act
in a public environment. The questions were: Who is speaking? Which had
to define my interests and intentions? Where is my position? Which analysed
the conditions of the charge given by the institution(Quam)? Why do I
speak? Which questioned the function I was supposed to have in my actuation?
And finally: What am I talking about? Which explained why I decided
to talk about the public function of the artist? While a videobeamer projected
the following photographs of public sculptures.
