Public Art Dialogue

The construction of public art is not only to leave a work of art in the public space, but to make the work penetrate into the lives of the public and into their hearts, so as to arouse emotional interaction and communication, and interact and influence with people, society, and the environment. From this point of view, public art is more like an art that balances various social relationships, which requires that it always have a dialogue relationship with the city, the community, and the public, and find a context of integration. Once out of touch with it, it will not only affect the appearance of the city, but also cause public dissatisfaction and controversy. This paper takes the public art dialogue as the starting point, and discusses the social meaning of the 2019 Urban Space Art Season held in Shanghai from the three aspects of the dialogue between public art and the city, the community and the public.
