After talk with my tutor and Tonya about my idea on last Thursday session. It seems like the stage two divide my work into two ideas. One is the culture identity and people connection, other one is the idea of the urban design and people.
As
I thought and according to my haiku, I trying to emphasis on the idea
of culture identity and people connection. Be inspired by the book
'Talking a line for a Walk', as the Marc Auge's work and theory about
'the notions of place and non-place are strongly opposed'.
So I start to focus on one part of our public art like sculpture. How could a sculpture connect the personalize feeling like sculpture designer or artist use their tacit knowledge and transfer it to the each individual. Public art is also a design work. it 'encouraging residents and visitors to appreciate and enjoy art.' The source to back up my thoughts is 'Art in Public Spaces' by Jeffrey Sussman. It is a short article that talks about how the connection between the public art and people. It attract large population segments of municipalities; And it is not just bring the welfare of the public, sometimes its also have some political meanings to explore.
There is one example in the articles talks about the contrast between the large glass boxes of building line on sixth Avenue and the grassy island with sculpture on Park Avenue in New York City. The workers will feel small and unimportant. The place with sculpture could offer a sense of place, history, and culture that would be sorely missed if suddenly deleted from the landscape. So same rule apply into my work, there is a strong connection between the sculpture and public in my photo essay, as I thought Wellington sculpture provide this space and place with a such unique culture, local distinctive identity and the feature in this city - wind. Lots of sculpture also combine that idea and apply these ideas into their works.
