Editing Site-specific art (section)

==Examples==
Outdoor site-specific artworks often include [[landscaping]] combined with permanently sited [[sculpture|sculptural]] elements; it is sometimes linked with [[environmental art]]. Outdoor site-specific artworks can also include [[dance]] [[performance]]s created especially for the site. More broadly, the term is sometimes used for any work that is more or less permanently attached to a particular location. In this sense, a building with interesting [[Architecture (built environment)|architecture]] could also be considered a piece of site-specific art.

In Geneva, Switzerland, the Contemporary Art Funds are looking for original ways to integrate art into architecture and the public space since 1980.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://institutions.ville-geneve.ch/fr/fmac/fmac/missions/|title=Missions {{!}} Fonds d'art contemporain {{!}} Ville de Genève : Sites des institutions|website=institutions.ville-geneve.ch|language=fr|access-date=2018-01-05}}</ref> The [[Neon Parallax]] project, initiated in 2004, is conceived specifically for the Plaine de Plainpalais, a public square of 95'000 square meters, in the heart of the city. The concept consists of commissioning luminous artistic works for the rooftops of the buildings bordering the plaza, in the same way, advertisements are installed on the city's glamorous lakefront. The 14 artists invited had to respect the same legal sizes of luminous advertisements in Geneva. The project thus creates a [[parallax]] both between locations, and messages, but also by the way one interprets neon signs in the public realm.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NEON PARALLAX - Département de la culture et du sport - Ville de Genève |url=http://www.ville-ge.ch/culture/neons/ |access-date=2022-07-22 |website=www.ville-ge.ch}}</ref>

Site-specific performance art, site-specific visual art and interventions are commissioned for the annual [[Infecting the City]] Festival in [[Cape Town]], South Africa. The site-specific nature of the work allows artists to interrogate the contemporary and historic reality of the Central Business District and create work that allows the city's users to engage and interact with public spaces in new and memorable ways.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.africacentre.net/infecting-the-city/|title=Infecting The City - Africa Centre|date=2014-03-28|work=Africa Centre|access-date=2018-01-05|language=en-US}}</ref>
