Abstract
This article provides an overview and critique of significant writings on dialogic public art from 1994 to the present. The author examines different perspectives on this development from the theoretical to the practical in five texts: Suzanne Lacy's Mapping the Terrain: New Genre Public Art; Tom Finkelpearl's Dialogues in Public Art; Grant Kester's Conversation Pieces: Community + Communication in Modern Art and The One and the Many: Contemporary Collaborative Art in a Global Context; Claire Bishop's Participation; and Pam Korza and Barbara Schaffer Bacon's Civic Dialogue, Arts & Culture: Findings from Animating Democracy. Terminology used by each writer is defined and differences are explored between “new genre public art,” “dialogue-based public art,” “dialogical art,” “participatory art,” and “arts-based civic dialogue.”
