Magazine. The goal of this issue was "an issue that would investigate art that is created by/for communities or 'the public' in its broader definition...The pieces here reference sites all over the world, from the Prostitution Toleration Zone in Rotterdam, to the gutters of Valparaiso, the the Garden of Eden. But we have also included a number of 'reports from the field' - a kind of survey of the local public art that some of our readers find themselves admiring/rejecting/questioning. These reports cover the 'Dance Steps on Broadway' in Seattle, a bench in Don Edwards San Francsico Bay National Wildlife Refuge, an Argentian small press that makes books out of cardboard collected by the unemployed, signs on overpasses that cross I-495 in New England..." from the Editor's Notes (Jena Osman and Juliana Spahr).
