The public arts is an unstable and a sustained idea of development from ¡§percent for art¡¨ to ¡§new genre public art¡¨. The public arts of Taiwan and the community construction develop together over 16 years. This research believes that, the future evolution of public arts must be combined with the community construction and should become a kind of medium, a kind of esthetics element. The author propose three patterns of community intervention from experiences and practices ¡G¡§To participate and to communicate continually¡¨, ¡§the meeting of arts and life¡¨ and ¡§the dynamic relations who are mutually main parts¡¨. We all take economic growth as the essential target since long time in Taiwan. However, we still can not catch up synchronously the cultural taste and the aesthetic value. Taking ¡§Art as Environment in Chiayi¡¨ and ¡§living aesthetics movement of Taiwan¡¨ to collate Joseph Beuys¡¦s concept and position of ¡§social sculpture¡¨ and ¡§everybody is the artist¡¨, thinks that the arts are a part of life and no longer separated from the daily life already. What the research wants to explore is, the development of public arts in the future will be based on community construction, coordinate with the political pushing ¡§living aesthetics movement of Taiwan¡¨, raise people's esthetics accomplishment from daily life, and enable Taiwan to become a rich country both in economy and culture.

The process of living together established at this community gave evidence to the local desire of construction and maintenance of gardens with communal purposes, becoming the main line for actions of inclusion, collaboration and artistic creation brokered by the author. For this process of coexistence to make sense as a contemporary artistic process, in the first part of this dissertation, under the title of Public Art New Genre , different genealogies of the new genre public art are presented. They are linked wether to the notion of spatiality or to an art critic, both situating the research at a specific context of collaborative actions in the post 1970 s period. In the second part, entitled The Concept of Community , the theoretical concepts and references of community involved with the research are discussed, since we are talking about the creative processes that were developed with Barra da Lagoa s community at Florianopolis (SC, Brazil). In the third part, under the title of The Garden and its Collaborative Managements , some of the everyday life experiences are mentioned. These experiences generate actions that are configured as collaborative in public or private spaces within the community. They unleashed creative artistic processes, such as images production and reports, entitled by the author as Here Communal Gardens . As a field of study and collaborative artistic practice in the community, considerations are presented about the artist as a mediator in the new genre public art, placing the author's artistic practice among the factors and characters of the everyday life, as well as among the theoretical framework presented along the research / A dissertação tem como título Hortas Comunitárias na Barra da Lagoa Agenciamentos Colaborativos em Arte Pública de Novo Gênero e se refere ao processo de convívio desenvolvido pela autora em uma comunidade específica como prática colaborativa e relacional de um processo artístico em arte contemporânea. O processo de convívio estabelecido nesta comunidade deu evidência ao desejo local de construção ou manutenção de hortas com fins comunitários, vindo a ser o principal fio condutor para ações de inclusão, colaboração e criação artísticas intermediadas pela autora. Para que este processo de convívio faça sentido em processo artístico contemporâneo, na primeira parte desta dissertação, sob o título Arte Pública de Novo Gênero, são apresentadas as diferentes genealogias da arte pública de novo gênero, ligadas à noção de espacialidade ou de uma arte crítica que situam a pesquisa em um contexto específico de ações colaborativas no período após a década de 1970. Na segunda parte, sob o título A Noção de Comunidade, são abordados os conceitos e referenciais teóricos de comunidade que envolvem a pesquisa, já que se tratam de processos criativos que foram desenvolvidos junto à comunidade da Barra da Lagoa em Florianópolis - SC. Na terceira parte, sob o título A Horta e seus Agenciamentos Colaborativos, são mencionadas algumas das relações de convívio, geradoras de ações que se configuraram como colaborativas, em espaços públicos ou privados da comunidade. Estas ações desencadearam processos artísticos criativos, intitulados pela autora Aqui Horta Coletiva , como a produção de imagens e relatos destes encontros. Como campo de estudo e prática artística colaborativa na comunidade, são apresentadas considerações quanto ao artista como um mediador em arte pública de novo gênero, situando a prática artística da autora em relação aos fatores e personagens do convívio, assim como quanto aos referenciais teóricos apresentados ao longo da pesquisa

New Genre Public Art was originally defined by Suzanne Lacy in 1991 as an activist approach to the public; it was a type of public art that was often created outside the institutional structure which brought the artist into direct engagement with the audience, while addressing social and political issues. In 1993, the public art exhibition ’Culture in Action’, curated by Mary Jane Jacob, marked a conceptual shift from static to dynamic public art. The exhibition is considered a landmark event in the development of public art as it was among the first projects to frame communities as the structure and content of its art.During the past decade (2010–2020), urban development has become incorporated as an integral part of the work of the Public Art Agency Sweden, and the agency have established their own curatorial department in order to curate and produce their own public art exhibitions. As Public Art Agency Sweden is a State agency, their work is largely determined by official policies formulated by the Swedish government. This thesis analyzes the contemporary policies of urban public art by conducting an interdisciplinary critical discourse analysis that merges art history, curatorial– and urban studies, in order to trace the influence of discourse to how Public Art Agency Sweden has operated within this intersection during the last decade––ultimately to discuss what the Swedish policies on public art strive to achieve and the risks, ethics and responsibilities of the emerging field of urban, context-based curatorship.

The research is based on the belief that the Earth's survival is reliant on an understanding of the interconnectedness between people and the planet. The premise that creative expression is an inherent need in human beings and a powerful agent for social change is at the core of this study. The arts permeate all aspects of life and can play a positive pro-active role in economic and social upliftment. The study therefore explored a contemporary public context in which artists intervene in society to provide practical and functional social spaces but also, with the ecological crisis of the planet, to create an awareness of the interconnectedness of life. Place-making was of specific concern and one of the aims was to examine ways of re-shaping the appearance and meaning of public spaces. An equally important issue was the role and responsibility of both the artist and the commissioning process in a social context and the relevance of individual expression as modes of addressing social concerns and as a tool of public empowerment within a new democratic South Africa that can have a genuine impact on community well-being and social inclusion. The research therefore exists in between the arts, social sciences and the ecology of place: that is, the understanding of the role of creative intervention within social spaces. The study provides a historical context and development of new trends in public and collaborative community arts, contextualises the notion of public and argues for a repositioning of assessment criteria for the arts within a social public domain and in the interest of the people. It is based on a critical survey of international collaborative arts and its potential as a guide to alternative solutions and implementation within a South African context for creative interventions and regeneration of public spaces and empowerment and capacity building of its citizens. The research discusses the relevance and the position of the arts and craft industry as a means of poverty alleviation, job creation and empowerment in South Africa. Rebuilding community demands both the rejuvenation of social spaces and the restoration of community esteem together with mutual and self-respect. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / D.
