Abstract

Analysis of the systems employed by local governmental organizations in Japan for selecting sculpture installation projects for public spaces reveals the following. There appear to be four basic systems. Firstly, there is the ‘outdoor sculpture exhibition’ system. This system aims to acquire new pieces by holding an exhibition of such works. Secondly, there is ‘the purchasing of existing works’ system in which appropriate pieces are selected from works already created. Then there is the ‘sculpture symposium’ system in which a symposium is held with the intent to acquire already existing works. Lastly, there is the ‘order made’ system in which original works are commissioned to an artist. In this system, the location of the installation can be factored into its production. There have been variations on each of these basic systems and modified versions have therefore also developed.
