Manifesting in a broad range of media, from massive land and environmental works and extensive sculpture parks to giant public murals, 'destination art' demands to be found and met in its own space and on its own terms. Some works require a committed pilgrimage to find - in deserts, forests, and quarries, on farmland and in mountains, in ghost towns and nature reserves. Others might be hidden gems in urban environments. What unites them in every instance is an artistic symbiosis between the installation and its setting. Through the eyes of renowned art historian Amy Dempsey, the magic of public art comes alive - and while the art is undoubtedly important, the journey there is often equally so.
