This lecture premiered at The Louvre auditorium as part of FIAC?s public programs in October, 2017. To give it, I loaded the talk into a teleprompter program on my laptop. The line breaks in the piece are a result of the way the teleprompter program broke them up in order to facilitate the reading of the work. Although I have never written lineated verse, I love the idea that a computer lineated the verse for me. This lecture, then, reads an awful lot like the way I talk, but it is truly nothing like the way I talk.? - Kenneth Goldsmith.

What is the fate of art in an age of publicity? How has the role of traditional public (i.e., government-owned) art changed in contemporary culture, and how have changing conditions of public space and mass communications altered the whole relationship between art and its potential audiences? With contributions from the arts, philosophy, criticism, and the law, the thirteen essays in this volume explore the aesthetic, social, and political dynamics that make contemporary public art so controversial, and that that have placed recent art work at the center of public debates. Contributors include Vito Acconci, "Public Space in a Private Time"Agnes Denes, "The Dream"W. J. T. Mitchell, "The Violence of Public Art: 'Do the Right Thing'"Ben Nicholson, "Urban Poises"Michael North, "The Public as Sculpture: From Heavenly City to Mass Ornament"Barbara Kruger, in an interview with W. J. T. MitchellBarbara Hoffman, "Law for Art's Sake in the Public Realm"Richard Serra, "Art and Censorship"James E. Young, "The Counter-Monument: Memory Against Itself in Germany Today": Charles Griswold, "The Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Washington Mall: Philosophical Thoughts on Political Iconography"John Hallmark Neff, "Daring to Dream"and David Antin and Virginia Maksymowicz. Presenting a balance of theoretical and performative essays by both critics and artists, this book will provide deep and discordant analyses of contemporary public art for general readers, as well as students and scholars of art, architecture, and public policy related to the arts. Most of these articles originally appeared in the journal 'Critical Inquiry'.
