"The definition and value of public space in postmodern culture has become confused and unclear. The dissolution of borders between private and public has made its status even more uncertain, and this uncertainty corresponds to the contested ”meanings” of democracy and the legitimacy of political forms. Considered as a medium for society – a field for appearance, information, vision and truth – public space is proposed as an object of study by the same standards as are newspapers, television or the internet."

— Catharina Gabrielsson in “To Make a Difference: Public Space as a Medium for Art,
Architecture and Concepts of the Political”
