Fleming, Ronald Lee

Cl. London, 2007

Book ID: 74501

Well researched book that makes a radical case for accessible public art that fosters a powerful civic experience of connection to place. Fleming advocates narrative, site-specific public art that engages the popular imagination through common references to history, folklore, culture and geography, and demonstrates how the integration of approachable art with local landscape, architecture and urban design can facilitate identification with locale.
