公共艺术概念在中国出现时间不长,它与中国公共空间、公共艺术教育尚处在初步的磨合阶段,距离一门成熟的学科,还有相当的距离。因此,公共艺术的学科目前只能是“非典型”的,因为它要在不断回应新案例和新问题中定义自身。从发展的角度看,公共艺术学科的核心问题是观念和方法的问题,公共艺术教育的重点也是观念和方法的教育。 The concept of public art has not appeared in China for a long time. It is still in a preliminary run-in stage with China’s public space and public art education, and there is still a considerable distance from a mature discipline. Therefore, the discipline of public art can only be “atypical” at present as it defines itself in response to new cases and new problems. From the perspective of development, the core issue of the public art discipline is the issue of concepts and methods. Public art education also focuses on concepts and methods of education.
