This website is a catalog of BA 132 at Moore College of Art and Design, Spring 2007. This course will venture into topics of the monument, public art, new genre public art, site specificity, landscape and place. We will use the city as our site to explore, interact with and create public works of art. We will examine the historical uses of art in public places and interpret the many public artworks available to us here in Philadelphia.
