Art in Urban Development and Public Spaces: Anne Mette Rahbæk, Ebbe Stub Wittrup, Poul Høilund, & Maria Eichhorn

For the tenth episode of the CHART Talks podcast, we are delighted to share a recording of a panel discussion moderated by Anne Mette Rahbæk, Head of Development at Realdania By & Byg featuring Ebbe Stub Wittrup, an artist with experience in creating art both for pre-existing buildings and new constructions, Poul Høilund an architect specialising in destination development, and Maria Eichhorn, an art consultant working for Statens Kunstråd to increase the scope of art in the public sphere.

Covering everything from how art can create meaningful connections between communities, to how art can increase public safety, foster beauty and provide a living document of a city's history, the talk looked at specific examples of successful public art installations in Copenhagen, Rome and other cultural capitals.
