Creating art for public spaces - a story, an inspirational work and a handbook

An art book that provides insight into and understanding of the contexts and artistic working methods that specifically relate to the creation of art for public spaces.

Art in public spaces is an independent artistic discipline that involves complex contexts and many interdisciplinary tasks.

The book's ambition is to convey knowledge about artistic working methods to everyone involved in the process from idea to finished public artwork; from artist to craftsman, architect to conservator, client to citizen. It can be read as a story, a work of inspiration and a handbook at the same time.

Vibeke Mencke Nielsen - AT TEGNE ORDENE VÆK

Visual artist Vibeke Mencke Nielsen ( b.1937) has a unique ability to observe the world and register it. Out of a heratfelt and honest attention to the intimate in life, life’s big themes unfold in Mencke Nielsen´s artworks and words.

Mencke Nielsen talks about her work in creating art, about wondering, about the drawn line and the silence. At the same time, she reminds us of the course and transience of life, about the influence of coincidences, about finding happiness and how we must keep ourselves open as humans in order to come up with new thoughts and new ideas.

The book is a collage of Mencke Nielsen’s words and artworks. Composed by Anne Marie Plough and Carina Zunino
