A treatise on sculpture / a treatise on town streets
Tihomir Matijević
; The Academy of Arts, Osijek, Croatia
Abstract
Thinking about sculpture in a public space means thinking about changing the transgressive identity of some place. There is a search for a shared symbol in that meeting of sculpture and space, the personal identity of the author and the collective identity or the identities of a community, the identity of the work and the identity of the town space to create a new identity. Sculpture, as a shared symbol, is the result and cause of the existing identity. Its historical role is to turn the image of a space into a sign of the place. As an identity mark, that is, territorial mark, it has a different role than as a work of art. The aim is to present (represent) a given space as a unique image that everyone will recognise.
