MSA
The strategies used by art in public space include a broad range of artistic approaches. Art can show us more environmental and ethical ways of treating one another. It can offer an opportunity for collective participation and self-expression, for reflecting on history, and for community dialogue. It can influence our social, spatial, and political topologies by promoting new social models or designing and improving the physical infrastructure. However, it can also legitimize economic or political interests that are not beneficial to the general public.
An Fonteyne, Jitse van den Berg and Philippe Viérin are interested in the traditions of architecture, the potential that comes from familiar and ordinary settings and the possibilities that emerge from translating these ideas through construction and the employment of material. A meandering walk following thoughts, sketches, projects and buildings will explore the affinity the architects have with literature, visual arts and politics.
