| description | Participation, public art and participatory public
art as phenomenons and subjects have been
studied and discussed. With interviews and observations
as a base, we have studied projects
and discussed participation, effect and quality
in relation to these.
Furthermore we have looked at how the participatory
art processes work in Sweden and
England. This essay seeks to discuss the process
of participatory public art and to emphasize
the elements contributing to the quality of this
process.
It is up to us as planners to recognize the possibilities
for a qualitative place. To mediate between
different interests, for example between
politicians and stakeholders, between economics
and quality, between the place and its users,
between individuals and the community, and in
our case between artists, users and the municipality.
Public art has gone from being about the product,
an art piece, to becoming more of a process,
from non interactive to interactive. Participation
ranges from receiving information to play
an active part in the process.
Four cases have been studied, taken both from
Sweden and England, showing the diversity of
processes connected to Participatory Public Art.
From interviews conducted in Sweden and
England information and thoughts have been
received and they show a higher degree of use
of participatory public art in England, and also a
higher consciousness. In England participation
in public art is a common working method and
the artists see themselves acting different roles.
In Sweden this method is used less frequently
and mostly to gain information to help the
process. In general the method focuses on the
artist and the art as object or product in Sweden
while the process itself is the more important in
England.
The most evident part missing in all participatory
art projects seems to be the lack of evaluations.
A good project should be well planned
throughout all the phases; before-, during-,
and after. A project manager should be present
to overview and reintroduce energy into the
project. Last but not least, the outcome and the
process of developing the project need to be
evaluated.
In the creation of meaningful places, participatory
public art contributes from two directions.
Firstly, when you engage in your surroundings a
bond is created, a common history between you
and that place. Secondly the art can differentiate
places from each other and give them an identity.
Swedish artists need to let go of some of their
professional role, without sacrificing pride and
quality. This would make it easier to collaborate
across borders.
Sweden can learn from England and use the
participatory public art in a way that is adaptable
for Swedish conditions, for example helping
new housing developments to get the identity
that they lack. |

Delaktighet, offentlig konst och deltagande offentlig konst som fenomen och ämnen har studerats och diskuterats. Vi har med intervjuer och observationer som utgångspunkt, studerat projekt och diskuterat delaktighet, process och kvalitet och hur de här processerna fungerar i Sverige och England. Denna uppsats syftar till att diskutera processen runt deltagande offentlig konst och betona de element som bidrar till kvaliteten. Det är upp till oss som planerare att inse möjligheterna för en kvalitativ plats. Att medla mellan olika intressen, till exempel mellan politiker och intressenter, mellan ekonomi och kvalitet, mellan platsen och dess användare, mellan individer och samhället, och i vårt fall mellan konstnärer, användare och kommunen. Offentlig konst har gått från att handla om produkten, ett konstverk, till att handla om en social interaktiv process. Deltagande kan variera från att man enbart tar emot information till att man har aktiv roll i processen. Fyra fall från Sverige och England har studerats, dessa visar på olika processer kopplade till deltagande offentlig konst. Intervjuer i Sverige och England visar på en mer utbredd användning av- och högre medvetandegrad om deltagande offentlig konst i England. I England är det här en vanlig arbetsmetod är konstnärer kan ta sig an olika roller. I Sverige däremot används deltagande i offentlig konst mer för att inhämta information som hjälp i processen. Sammanfattningsvis är det i Sverige fortfarande högre fokus på konstnären och konsten som objekt eller produkt, medan det i England är mer fokus på själva processen och brukarna. Det mest bristfälliga i de här projekten är avsaknaden av utvärderingar. Ett fungerande projekt ska vara väl planerat i alla dess faser, före-, under- och efter. En projektledare ska vara närvarande för att överblicka och återinföra energi i projektet. I skapandet av meningsfulla platser, bidrar deltagande offentlig konst från två håll. För det första, när du engagerar dig, skapas en gemensam historia och en koppling mellan dig och den platsen. Detta medan konsten har förmågan att skilja platser från varandra och ge dem en specifik identitet. Svenska konstnärer behöver släppa lite på sin yrkesroll, detta utan att ge avkall på stolthet och kvalitet. Sammantaget skulle detta underlätta ett gränsöverskridande samarbete. Genom att inspireras av engelska metoder kan vi i Sveroge hitta arbetssätt inom deltagande offentlig konst anpassade till svenska förutsättningar. Dessa skulle kunna användas till att skapa den identitet som många gånger saknas i nya och äldre bostadsområden.
