These projects, have caught the attention of creative practitioners, who sense a breach and opportunity to test the aesthetic possibilities and limits of creative practice in these places. But outside of amplifying the aesthetic experience of site, we ask the question: does public art matter? The commitment to the fact that something matters comes out of Martin Heidegger\u2019s, \u2018The Origin of a Work of Art\u2019, where he illustrates that for truth to reveal itself something has to be \u2018set\u2019 up so something at stake can appear. The critical work we suggest emerges when there is something at stake. In temporary public art projects, as they have been applied at these three sites, the role of the artist, the curator, the academic and the educator blur to bring events into being &#8211; but what was at stake? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drs Cameron Bishop, Anne Wilson, and Fiona Hilary are brought together by co-founder Amanda Shone, of The Rogue Academy, to analyse and debate these questions from three perspectives to interrogate the role of the artist, curator, and academic in these large-scale temporary public art projects taking into account their often interchangeable and interdependent nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Image:&nbsp;Amanda Shone&nbsp;<em>View de Ponds<\/em>, 2017, Treatment Flightlines Project curated by Cameron Bishop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aesthetics, Politics and Histories: The Social Context of Art AAANZ Conference 2018 December 5-7, 2018, School of Art, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia &nbsp; Public Art at the Periphery: Resistance and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":1719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.therogueacademy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
