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".

  Aesthetic Grounds blogs nusantara - and lots of other great public art sites
Glenn Weiss writes the blog Aesthetic Grounds on public art and public space, forming part of the ArtsJournal collective. This is in part to redress the balance: "the dialogue on public art and public space has almost no American art critics..." (Glenn are you saying Miwon Kwon is chopped liver?). He's put together a posting listing some of the public art websites out in the world, including nusantara.com.

Glenn has written public art grant proposals and knows some of the players in the US, so his blog is an excellent place to get an in-depth look at some ongoing public art commissions, and to get a feel for the meeting of architects, landscape artists and public sculptors and others in this process. He's writing some in-depth reviews of pieces, which is a great contribution.
