| Full title, Offentligt konstarbete - Fallstudier I konst och arkitektur. Paperback, 228 pages. Author, Edvin Bylander & Joel Persson. Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2023 Everyday art has no clear or specific task. It doesn't need to be more or less provocative, thought-provoking, or easier to understand than any other type of art. However, it must consciously relate to the space it occupies and take a stance on how it engages with its audience. |
