Public 'sculpture' might just as easily be described these days as 'sculpting public space' or 'sculpting the public' or even 'sculpting in public'. When the event or experience is often valued in equal measure with the object or outcome produced, what challenges does this shift result in for practitioners? What are the demands as well as possibilities of this public-centric way of working? Has site-specificity been replaced by audience-specificity or do these remain distinct things?
