Expanded fields of sculpture in landscape and urban rehabilitation: an example of public art and collaborative practices

ABSTRACT

We seek to discuss the sculpture insertion as qualitative element in urban and landscape rehabilitation project of an old country road, developed and implemented in Belver, a small rural town in central Portugal. We highlight the impact and the conceptual debate that was generated by the project - supported with EU funds - over who participated in it, as well as collaborative practices between politicians, architects and artists (sculptors) we consider to be relatively rare in similar contexts. They permeated the principles and processes in which the work was performed, and therefore they seemed worthy of study and attention.
