public sculpture
In many cities the sculptor has
realized PUBLIC ART projects with
existing sculptures as well as
site-specific works.
Public art is the term which applies
to the fact that a work of art is
located in the public domain. It is not
a certain type of art as site-specific
art is; site specific sculpture, as in
the case with den Arend's sculpture, is
art which has been designed specifically
for a certain location. His first
commissioned public art work was a
garden which required a site specific
approach. Site-specific art (sculpture)
is part of a site - an environment -
which is either a new or an existing
site. Public sculpture can also be an
existing sculpture which is chosen
because it is most suited for a public
space.
In his public art the sculptor uses
the qualities of a specific site and
adds to them a complement in the form of
art.

works can be viewed in
