Projects > Permanent Works
This initiative allows inviting
artists to create site specific works realized in different locations
such as gardens, façades, car parks up to other day-to-day
spaces such as buses, subways… It allows to play with the
light of the spaces, to introduce water in a less traditional
way than fountains we are used to see, to draw the ground of sidewalks
or places… It is this artist’s talent which works
in the public spaces which helps to prove that art is not owned
by a small privileged group of art lovers. Public Art opens to
dialogue with architects and town planners but more effectively
with the public for which these works are done. These works characterize
afterwards the locations of cities where they are installed. For
example the Buren’s columns are now totally linked with
the Palais Royal in Paris, such as Jeff Koons’ flower dog
with the Guggenheim done by Frank Gehry in Bilbao.
In parallel with the art works, are organized
meetings with pupils and students, not to mention the workshops
done with art schools.
