Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization and the growing demand for culture and art, public art works are becoming more and more important in cities. As a type of public art, installation art makes positive contributions to highlighting the spirit of the city and improving the artistic quality of the city, and at the same time, it also brings endless artistic enjoyment to people. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the installation art in urban public space, analyze its development, concept and integration with urban public space. The article first reviews the history and theoretical basis of art installation, and then defines the concept and classification of urban public space. Through specific case studies, the article explores how art installations are integrated with public space, and how this integration enhances the cultural value and aesthetic experience of urban environments. The article analyzes from three perspectives: life elements, animal elements and abstract elements. Specific examples include “Spoon bridge and Cherry” and “Shoes on the Danube Bank”, which demonstrate the integration of living elements; “Maman” and “Leap”, which demonstrate the integration of animal elements; “May Wind” and “Moon on the Water” show the fusion of abstract elements. These case studies reveal the importance of art installations in shaping urban public spaces and how they become symbols of urban culture and identity.
