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".

  more on the URA's public art scheme
The URA's circular can be found here. After all, "Provision of public art that is well integrated with the development can complement the built environment and enliven visitor experience."

Interesting to note the definition of public ("The art work must be located within a publicly accessible non-paid area or publicly visible part of a private development from the adjacent street level.") and some thoughts on the definition of art for these purposes ("Art works which can be easily removed (e.g. paintings, topiary) will not be considered under this scheme.")

Singapore planner-speak hasn't really loosened up much!
