Asian Public Art News
Art and similar interventions in public space. Coverage moves outwards from Singapore through Asia to the rest of the world. Like nothing else, the idea of "public art" exposes the contradiction inherent in our ideas of "the public" and of "art".

Unfortunately not the first time... sculpture kills boy

THis story in the The New Zealand Herald tells of a small boy killed when a sculpture he was climbing on fell over on top of him. It was a 1.4m stone statue apparently. We blogged a similar case in Korea some eighteen months ago.
