What are the processes involved when artworks are placed in public space? What characterizes the work of an art consultant or curator working in this context? What are the skillsets and challenges associated with this practice? How has the field developed in the Nordic countries in recent years?
This publication collects texts written by art consultants and curators who were part of the Nordic Network for Art Consultancy, a project funded by Nordic Culture Point 2019–2022. It works as a summary of the discussions that were held during the NNAC project, but the chapters are also vital snapshots of the state of art consultancy and public art curation in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
A report from the field, to be brought along into the field.
