| Abstract | In recent years, public art has evolved to take a c ntral role in urban regeneration in public places and, more recently, has been integrat d into city branding. Published research and selected reports revealed that public art frequently opens up sensitive issues like social acceptance, ownership and cultur al relevance, and showed that a participation-based approach can be used to address th e issues. The literature review confirmed the main issues and the need for a theore tical platform to support future practice. The researcher has been a professional practitioner n the field for many years and was aware of the gap between contemporary practice and academic underpinning, resulting in divergent practices with unpredictable outcomes. Key elements found in the secondary research and overlaid with the fieldw ork experience of the researcher were combined to create an analytical tool to analy se 46 practical cases of public art and design. This revealed five invitation elements [triggers to induce participation] which were found to be connected to four participat ion elements [patterns of participation]. A first conceptual model was formul ated to investigate the interactions and transformation processes between these invitati on nd participation elements. The model was further developed and its validity was te ted through two distinctive action-based research projects in which the researc h r played a leading role. The projects confirmed the validity of the transformati on process in the model and emergent pragmatic value. Expert interviews confirm ed the validity of the model and understanding of how it may become sustainable, res ulting in a toolkit for implementation to engender debate in the academic a nd practitioner community. The final theoretical model offers new thinking for lea ding public art and design practitioners and related stakeholders, to achieve consistent add-value. |
