    Must Come Down

    You know what they say... What goes up, must come down. This week, we get into the conservation and decommissioning of public art. Starring this week are Recumbent Horse (from Episode 2) and the Paolozzi Mosaics. You'll also hear stories about Greyfriars Bobby and Serra's controversial Tilted Arch. Nothing lasts forever, so how do we keep public sculpture around for so long?

    What Goes Up…

    In this Episode we discuss What Goes Up and how. Who is involved in the commissioning of public art? Where is the money coming from and going to? And can we go around freely taking photographs of public art, or is that infringing on copyright? We talk again to Liv and Kenny for some insider perspectives on the process and break down an artist’s budget. Next time, we get to the flipside of it with Part 2: Must Come Down.

    Location, Location, Location

    Let's talk location, relocation, and all that context. You'll be hearing the stories behind some of our public art and the places they're in. This second episode gets deeper into the site specific, so if you missed Episode One, you can catch up on Soundcloud and iTunes.
