Place and Interventionist Art
Place and Interventionist Art

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses public art actions in the context of the place of their actualisation. The theoretical framework is mostly based on the concepts of space by Michel de Certeau and Henri Lefevbre. The empirical evidence consists of artistic interventions which took place in one specific place – Tallinn Vabaduse Square – from 2000 to 2010. As a summary of the case studies and theoretical discussion, I will propose a list of generalised regularities which describe the combined effect of interventionist public art and the place of interventions.
