Public Good

Public Good Itinerant responses to collective space

A new publication by Enjoy questions expected notions of art in public, and asks what alternatives may be offered. Considering the increasing amount of funds and energy being directed towards the commissioning of art sited within public space, and the continual civic development of the urban landscape, we thought it timely to attempt a collected discussion into the obviously political, and forever elusive notion of The Public.

Public Good is a collection of critical essays, artist’s pageworks and prose pivoting around an exploration of The Public. The journal draws from local and international contributions and Itinerant responses to collective space sees the coming together of diverse voices and interpretations from practitioners locally and internationally to form a varied thesis, offering a springboard for argument, thought and discussion. This journal is the first in what will be a biennial production, focussing on different themes.
