Deutche, Rosalyn
Uneven development of public art in New York city
Marginalisation and Contemporary Culture, '90, p107-140
1990
New public spaces in New York are objects of contest over uses, they permit access by certain social groups for selected purposes while excluding others; art cannot presume the pre-existence of a public but must help to produce one; definitions of p.a. differ from artist to artist but they are held together by a single thread - it is art plus function; series of quotes from artists on function; thoughts on urbanism, space and abstract space; detailed description of Wodiczko's 'Homeless Vehicle' project.
