MAPS presents its largest international exhibition to date, The Story of Public Art. The exhibition tells the story of groundbreaking artistic experiments in public spaces from the 1960s to the present. It presents over 120 artists from more than 40 countries in an organic and dynamic exhibition format that will evolve throughout its four-year duration.

The Story of Public Art explores what artists do in public spaces. The exhibition draws connections to the lives we live and address, through the artist’s perspective, significant societal themes across time and geography. The exhibition offers an experience of art’s international reach and significance, created in dialogue with its contemporary context. It highlights time-based works that have become landmarks for future generations, as well as pieces that have changed our perception of identity, power structures, biopolitics, desire, labor, social relations, nature, and reality.
