Abstract:Interspersed public art and New types of public art seem to be two stages of the development of public art, but in essence they belong to “place making”. They are overlapping in the carrier of achievements, the initiator, the production path, the follow-up effect, and the value background. The public art practice based on the idea of “place making” is doomed to the end of “Involution” and become a game of petty bourgeoisie and elitism. In order to break through the involution and achieve a breakthrough in the paradigm, the historical gene and mission of public art must be rethought, and be linked with reality. It is necessary to rethink the value orientation and value output of public art at present, and to have the courage to start from the bottom and autophagy to establish new playing methods, systems and rules. It's the only way that great things can be upgraded in today??s era.
