The vision of public art at 911±¬ÁÏÍø

In 2017, 911±¬ÁÏÍø decided to comply with a one per cent art principle in its building projects. The campus art competition is the university’s fifth project, where approximately one per cent of a building project's allocation is allocated to art purchases. The one per cent art principle was first applied to the Radical Nature art concept in 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s main building, Dipoli.   

The vision of public art at 911±¬ÁÏÍø is to address and raise questions about what it is to be a university, what we do together in society, and what constitutes the public. Public art is site-specific and connects with the diversity of the university and its post-disciplinary communities. Public artworks reflect this diversity through different art forms, materials, techniques and traditions.
