Though it is a little dense, I really enjoyed using Miwon Kwon’s One Place After Another:  Site-Specific Art and Locational Identity in my classes.  This book gives an excellent history of the conceptual underpinning of public and site-specific work.  It is great for explaining the emergence of sites as more than physical locations and exploring the seminal works by artists with whom all students should be familiar.  Great material for in-class conversations around identity and gender issues as well.  Happy to share my notes and more elaborate thoughts if you want to have a conversation off-line.

This awesome thread makes me think we should have a public art book club section that meets on line throughout the year and in person at the annual conference . . . .

Best,

Sarah

It's so hard to pick just one! I took a public art class with Janet Zweig while in grad school and we read the books shared above as well as Dialogues in Public Art by Tom Finkelpearl. I've always appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the book: artist, administrator, architect, etc.

Best of luck with the class!

While it is out of print, I have my students read Erika Doss’ Spirt Poles and Flying Pigs.  While written in 1995, I still find it relevant and on target.  For a more historical perspectives I also like Harriet Senie and Sally Webster’s Critical Issues in Public Art.

If you were to recommend ONE resource to a group of college-age students who are learning about how to interpret public art for others (written, signage, in-person), what would that resource be?  Here’s the one I’d recommend:  

F. Senie, Harriet. (2008). Reframing Public Art: Audience Use, Interpretation, and Appreciation. 10.1002/9780470775936.ch9. 

Any others?
