Öffentliche Kunst, Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Niederösterreich, Band 8: / Public Art Lower Austria, Volume 8 (Veröffentlichte Kunst. Kunst im ... Niederösterreich Public Art Lower Austria)

Lower Austria has received international acclaim for its unique policy on the placement of art in public space. Prominent as well as lesser-known artists have contributed artistic projects for public spaces in small country towns and the Lower Austrian countryside. Volume 8 is a discussion among experts on the design of roundabouts, or traffic circles, an unlikely topic but one of vital importance when it comes to landscaping rural and outlying urban areas. Covering projects realized between 2004 and 2006, Volume 8 presents a unique and inspirational model for all those interested in the creation of public art or in the transformation of a simple traffic requirement into something beyond the everyday.
