Artistic interventions inpublic space contest the cognitive perception of the artwork and, even more, the changing ideas of public space — its definitions, tasks, uses, designs, and the shifting power structures within. Post-World War II, artists began to mobilize their artistic agency in radical ways as part of a societal challenge of western hegemony, patriarchal and white-dominated models of subjectivity, and entrenched hierarchies. These artistic objections involved the production of concept-based art and the rise of body and performance art. Such movements confused the established concept of the artwork as static, cumulating into a final object containing the intentional meanings of the artist. Identified by Lucy Lippard as a turn towards dematerialization, art was understood to be an idea or gesture rather than an object per se. In public space, such practices are not only testing the concept of art but further the dynamics between the artwork, its temporary public, and the site. How can these artistic strategies mobilize and demand different kinds of public engagement and deliver the artwork's social and political potentials for agency in our common spheres?
