Public Culture as an art practice rooted in process, through research, participation and activism in social, cultural and environmental spaces. In the realm of research, Public Culture should operate by acquiring from multiple sources the informations, knowledges and assessments of contemporary culture derived from areas of economy, culture and society, with various derivates and overlaps between them. The 'sources' of Public Culture could be the physical and conceptual materials that operates outside the territories of arts, which are to become the fundamental elements from which the need, values and impact of art practice could be constructed. Once all this is completed and the work of art is made, it, or we, should then return to the territories and subjects of the source, under the term of collaborations, interventions and activism. But we should do so without dogmas, and be ready to transform our work according to the condition of applications or exercises.
