Post 9-11, post Iraqi invasion, post (we wish) the War on
Terrorism, there is a great deal of interest in safety in the
public domain, both in the political realm and among the general
public. Individuals and society as a whole are increasingly
concerned with protection and security for themselves and their
material possessions. These newfound worries have repercussions for
the layout, design, and management of public and semi-public
places, imposing new demands on artists, designers, commissioners,
and policy makers. "Open 6 examines the root causes of the public
desire for safety. The authors consider theoretical and practical
scenarios, proposals and visions from the realms of art,
architecture, philosophy, and politics, in an attempt to lay bare
something of the modern-day safety paradigm. Alternatively, the
authors argue the need for new models. The contributors also
provide insight into the current state of the modern-day
practicalities of the aesthetics and ethics of safety in essays
which directly consider real places or (art) projects.
