I think this also is an important point in that many of us end of
being gardeners of our own work tending them as climates change and
usually because in the end the artists themselves have the most
urgent incentive to do so. This can go for long run gallery
installations also, but I am thinking particularly with regard to
'permanent' public works here. It is a factor that is often
underestimated (in our experience) when budgeting, drawing up
agreements and so on.
I would be interested to hear from artists who have had truly
positive experiences in this regard and what kind of models they are
based on -especially if it is a work that uses network connections or
interactive elements as in our experience these are aspects that can
make works less stable than say hard drives playing back stuff
generatively, according to rule sets or otherwise...
