'Wikipedia Saves Public Art (WSPA) aims to encourage the creation of accurate informative and up-to-date articles about public art. The definition of public art is often debated. WSPA seeks to be as inclusive as possible.
While Wikipedia cannot physically "save" artworks, through the process of defining and documenting them within Wikipedia we can care for them and raise awareness about their existence, meaning, and context. The process of examination, research, and documentation required for the completion of Wikipedia articles is similar to that which is undertaken by art conservators before they begin physically intervening with an artwork. In this way, WSPA has explicitly borrowed the concept of "saving" from the Heritage Preservation project Save Outdoor Sculpture!, whose acronym SOS! clearly references the international Morse code distress signal, "SOS".'

'The 40 articles produced by the class are meant to begin a much bigger project. Ms. Mikulay said that it is difficult to quantify interest in the project but that traffic to its Wikipedia page is steadily increasing, and she hears from students on other campuses, and people in the public-art field, about once a week. Ms. Mikulay, Mr. McCoy, and some Indiana-Purdue students are now writing entries for pieces of public art around Indianapolis.'

'Albrecht Durer (1471 - 1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theorist from Nuremberg. His still-famous works include the Apocalypse woodcuts, Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and interpretation. His watercolours mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium. Durer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, have secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatise which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions.'

'What does it mean to be an art school today? How should art education regroup and evolve in response to changes in the art world, higher education, information technology, the art market and the broader economy -- and what should it mean to be an art school tomorrow?
These are some of the many issues addressed in Art School (Propositions for the 21st Century) (MIT Press), a new book edited by Steven Henry Madoff, who is senior critic at the Yale University School of Art. The book contains essays, questionnaire interviews, and transcripts of conversations by and among prominent artists and art educators, all of them addressing the mission and means of the art school.'
