This report presents an overview of IN SITU ACT (2016-2020), and a reflection on some of the highlights of this European cultural cooperation project which was awarded co-funding from the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. The 4-year programme strengthened a platform for artistic creation in public space through an extensive series of artistic encounters, taking diverse formats and organised across many countries of Europe. The report was done in collaboration with On the Move, written by Judith Staines. It includes a preface related to artistic mentoring and professional development by Lene Bang Henningsen.

This report evaluates the implementation and dissemination of the MOOC ‘Create in Public space », produced by FAI-AR in partnership with IN SITU from September 2017 till August 2019. This MOOC was supported as well by the French Ministry of Culture and ArtCena. This report, done in collaboration with On the Move (Maïa Sert) relies on materials collected from December 2019 to August 2020. Using, analysing and sharing both quantitative and qualitative form of data, this report aims to be both useful for users of MOOC but also for organisations interested in investing in MOOC particularly at a European and international level.

Pig is an art installation in the form of a giant transparent piggy bank. It appears without warning in public space accompanied by a short message: members of the public can put money into Pig’s ‘community fund’ if they want to, and spend it when they’ve agreed how to spend it. Developed by the company Kaleider and supported by IN SITU, the European platform for art in public space, Pig travelled to six locations in Europe within the IN SITU network during 2018-19, and was met with a fascinating range of responses. This report was commissioned by IN SITU, coordinated by On the Move and researched by Uclg Committee on Culture.
