Work Creator notes (display):
I think of my artworks and projects as a kind of monument. I say this because monuments are created with the awareness that they are being made for a public (not for their own sake). Likewise, as in most monuments, as an author I am not interested in conveying my interior life, biography or to put forward a private and unique sense of aesthetics -rather I am interested in articulating shared stories and collective histories. For this reason I have been increasingly focused in different forms of public art, public symbols and public institutions. One of my chief intents is to find ways to merge the intimacy enabled by the one-on-one relationship fostered by traditional art objects, with one-to-many public nature of monuments. With this in mind I have made sculptures that use the form of the key to the city, the heroic equestrian monument, and the grassy commons of a city; but I have crafted these forms using my experience as a maker of exhibition-based work. // I am increasingly interested in how the public itself has a form: in the way it sits for a performance, or gathers around a painting, or congregates for a speech, sermon or sports event. This investigation is reflected in the drawings I have been making for the past few years that examine the history and evolution of a sitting public. In turn, these drawings are feeding into a future projects. // Publics have a form and any form can become an artwork. Furthermore, any public form is capable to becoming a public artwork. Thus, I am have been thinking along the lines of how could something like public transportation become and artwork. Once I open myself to these possibilities, the repertoire of public art expands greatly. http://www.paulrami…
