LECTURE SATURDAY 23 NOVEMBER 2013
ART AND PUBLIC SPACE
Public conference at the Villa Arson, 2.30 pm, 20 Avenue Stephen Liegeard, 06100 Nice
Free entrance

Using the generic theme of art in the public space, questions about the place of artists and works in architecture and urbanism, in inhabited, constructed and lived spaces, will be addressed. Based on examples of works commissioned by artists in France and in the PACA region, and around the Nice-Côte d'Azur tramway, it will be a question of art in cities, their relationship with the environment, the consideration of complex situations by artists, the constraints imposed by public commissions, cultural policies, the reception of works by inhabitants, their maintenance and their future.

A discussion will follow between the speakers, the artists and teams of Market Zone, and the audience.

With:
Jean-Pierre Simon, Directeur de la Villa Arson ; Guy Tortosa, Critique d’art, commissaire d’expositions et inspecteur en charge de la commande publique à la Direction générale de la création artistique (DGCA) du Ministère de la culture et de la communication ; Jacqueline Blanc, Conseillère aux Arts Plastiques, DRAC PACA, (jusqu’en 2011) ; Olivier-Henri Sambucchi, Directeur adjoint de la Ville de Nice pour la culture.
