The public and artists have lost their right to enjoy space after COVID-19. Looking at how they are adapting to newly created public spaces will allow new findings. Furthermore, case studies will be shared in order to look at the changes in the concept of public space and creative trends. By doing so, new possibilities of the arts in public spaces can be explored. It will also lay the groundwork for new indices of art creation and circulation to be built.
- Because of COVID-19, we found artists and the public lost their rights to be in public spaces. How can they adjust themselves to the new rule of public space?
- What can we learn from those changes of public spaces? How has the aesthetics of arts in public spaces been changed?
- Let’s discuss the new role of arts in public spaces in the era of pandemic, so that we can make a stepping stone for the new era of arts and creatives.
The roles of arts in public spaces have been changed rapidly after the pandemic hit our society strongly and ceaselessly. In this salon, PAMS would like to focus on ‘How the arts embrace the diversity in public spaces’ and ‘How the arts help us to achieve spatial democracy’. Throughout this conversation, we would like to find the new trends of ‘Arts in Public Spaces’ together.
