Percent-for-art commissions may represent the official, professionalized face of public art, but beyond the plaza-in neighborhoods, back streets, and vacant lots, in suburban hinterlands, rural villages, and remote virtual realms-another kind of art has been taking shape, one that questions the very nature and experience of the commons.
