Unfolding the Public Art at Aalto University
100500
What is the role of a public art collection
in a university context? How does art impact teaching, research, and
well-being? The art works in the Aalto University Campus buildings and outside
areas form a unique and inspiring art collection. The art works focus on societally
vital topics, such as gender balance, sexuality, sustainability, quantum
physics, reflection, growth, materiality, beauty, and beyond.
In this book, international top academic
writers review the art collection through specific themes including how art
encourages business studies or can public art be provocative. The book is
richly illustrated with citations by the artists and anonymous comments by the
users of the university spaces.
The book unfolds in layers the processes of
public art with facts and stories. Look at the pictures, read the citations,
dwell on the articles and research more from the literature lists! This book is
a must for art lovers and people who want to develop the use of public spaces.
The book is available as an Open Access e-book both as a PDF-like fixed-layout version and as a scalable, reflowable version.
