ISSUES OF PUBLIC SPACE: DECISION-MAKERS AND ART

Summary/Abstract: Issues of Public Space: Decision-Makers and Art. This research addresses the problem of the way public space has been used and thought of throughout history as well as to show just how much exclusion has been part of an apparently democratic space.
