European Expert Meeting on Percent for Art Schemes
Overview
A meeting for invited specialists in public art took place at the instigation of the Dutch Government in The Hague, the Netherlands, on 26 and 27 September 2005. Representatives from organisations which are involved in Percent for Art schemes in various European countries met for the first time at group level. The gathering was organised by Atelier HSL (High Speed Line South Studio) in cooperation with the Atelier Rijksbouwmeester (Chief Government Architect's Studio) based on the need felt by both studios to exchange experiences with comparable organisations in other European countries. In the Netherlands, Percent for Art has recently been applied for the first time in a large-scale infrastructural project.
This first meeting was primarily intended as an introductory get together for the exchange of experiences and ideas. Participants introduced their organisations and presented one or more case studies in this two-day gathering. The presentations were divided into six sessions: Art Commissions in State Buildings, Art and the Social Sphere, Art and Infrastructure, Sustainable Art, Future Art, Dutch Examples. The expert meeting closed with a discussion.
