Colette Olive on Defining Public Art

What is the role of public art in shaping our collective imagination? How does economics influence what kind of art is allowed in our public spaces? Where are the opportunities for radical new types of creative activity that can shift what seems possible?

Join artist Toby Tobias Kidd as he explores all of these questions and more with guests including artists, curators, and philosophers in a new podcast series in collaboration with Kings College London, Future Narratives Lab, Art School Plus, and Professor Shanbaum of Coventry University.

On episode three, host Toby Tobias Kidd is joined by philosopher Colette Olive of Cambridge University, who specialises in aesthetics and the history of philosophy.

Colette discusses how we might define public art and explores art's radical potential in relation to the writings of Russian critic V. G. Belinsky.
