In her book One Place After Another, Miwon Kwon discusses an number of public art pieces that fall under the category of a project “Culture in Action”. These projects focus around the involvement of the community and that the projects success relies just as much on the people of the neighborhood as it does the creator of the piece itself. In her lecture, Mary Jane Jacobs explains how she is “interested in making art experiences”. It is about the involvement of people viewing the pieces and creating an interaction. She also comments that museums are inadequate because of their lack of space. Museums limit the work that can be viewed and a person’s interactions.
