Public art in cities can be divisive – some examples are adored, others are abhorred. But it’s also evolving: what once might have been a sculpture in a square can now be a pop-up intervention, an interactive performance or even a brand campaign. It can be physical, digital, mobile, static, personal, political or commercial.
This week, as 20 temporary horses are installed in front of Berlin’s Brandenburg gate to commemorate the 70th-anniversary of the end of the second world war in Europe, we want to ask: what are your favourite examples of urban public art (and least favourite)? How do you think public art in cities is changing? And is it really still for the public?
