	PUBLIC ART AS A PLANNING TOOL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Art is defined by Websters as "the quality, production, expression or realm of what is beautiful or of more than ordinary significance." The definition doesn't specify an arbiter of "beautiful" or "significant," though clearly a community plays that role when it comes to public art.
		An effort was made in the 1960's and 1970's to reintroduce "art" into the environment by placing art pieces in public places-- an activity later criticized as "plop art," since the resulting art did not necessarily respond to the particulars of its place and was often commissioned independent of its context.
		This approach to public art-- the broadening of the artist's role-- has emerged from the intersection of two separate currents: (1) a growing recognition of the potential scope of environmental art, and (2) the public artist's desire to interact with the community to increase the relevance of his art.

		Among the social uses of modernist abstraction, none is more contentious than that of "public" art -- the last bastion, it has been said, of modernist controversy.

		Rather, it functions to illuminate a disjunction that operates to decouple appearance and meaning, and within which "the complex dance," in Joshua Decter's words, "of art and politics, of culture and ideology, of form and function" endlessly and namelessly swirls.

		In regards to their questioning of if these MTA works are "art" (and boy do I dislike the whole, is it art thing), I tend to think that a piece truly is art (in reference to the image above) if the description for the one of the pieces is this...
		Now I am sure there are people who know more about the current state of public art in LA than I do and maybe some of you are looking at the MTA images and going "ewwww" but the MTA obviously supports the arts, particularly in downtown, with specific tours and with fundiing.
		I would find it interesting though if in their budget agreement that the art was necessary in them getting the other funding dedicated to the trains themselves.
