Agenda
  • The workshop “Public Art Needs Continuous Care” is organized as part of the NRP 81 Baukultur research project, “Cultural Heritage Needs Continuous Care,” in collaboration with the Divisione Cultura Città di Lugano.
    The meeting is designed as a thematic Living Lab, providing an opportunity for exchange and discussion on issues related to the maintenance of public art. It will explore how the phases of documentation, regular condition monitoring, and ongoing care are managed across various Swiss contexts, highlighting both the results achieved and the challenges faced.
    Public art refers to artworks displayed outdoors—such as monuments, fountains, sculptures, and murals—located in urban public spaces, museums, parks, and cemeteries.
    The event will present a variety of case studies differing in scale and geographical context to address recurring issues. It aims to compare diverse perspectives, ranging from the public administrations managing the interventions to the conservator-restorers who carry them out.

    ❷ Analyze the current definitions of maintenance, conservation, and restoration, and propose the introduction of a shared terminology.
    ❸ Highlight the factors that positively and negatively influence the implementation of maintenance plans, and discuss which areas and measures should be prioritized.
