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 differents 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 video beamer projected the following photographies
of public sculptures.
