The
most important part of the article is the design of the method wheel, which
must refer to the excellent methodology of sociology. The design idea needs to
be clear and the perspective needs to be unique. Methodological design is the
most important! Thank you!
Papers
need to be comprehensive, with the theoretical concepts section and the ‘state
of the research’ reflecting current discourse on the arts and
sustainability/sustainable development. Case studies analyze and systematically
apply sustainability dimensions to public art. References must also be targeted
and comprehensive. To make a meaningful contribution to current discussions
about art, sustainability and society.
The
content needs to be convincing and the bibliography cannot be without some of
the artists, curators, theorists and academics necessary to better understand
the current state of knowledge and practice in this particular field. The
following authors need to be cited in the article: Hildegard Kurt, Sacha Kagan, TJ Demos, Lucy Lippard,
Ruth Wallen, Yasmine Ostendorf, Maja and Reuben Fowkes. Furthermore, there is a
basic misconception about Public Art, which is not a technique or mediatic
strategy (written in small caps), but rather an heterogeneous international and
multigenerational movement (written in capital letters) that recognises the
necessity to interact with the audience and engage with communities, especially
outside institutional places. The paper should refer to the principles of
Public Art looking at some of its pioneers like Suzanne Lacy, Barbara Steveni,
John Latham, and David Harding. A wider conception of public art (small
caps) as a generic collector of anything that is put in the public space
(monuments, buildings, gardens etc.) is hardly used in recent scholarly
literature engaging with art and sustainability, since it lacks the ability to
focus on specific cases of audience engagement and of community driven
interventions.
There
are also problems related to the methodological approach to artworks and art
historical topics, such as for instance inferring that Land Art (again
capitalised, because it is a movement, not a technique) “is” a form
of Public Art, while the matter is widely debated in specialist papers, given
that much Land Art is extractivist and paternalistic in principle. What’s more,
when citing an artwork such as Spiral Jetty it is fundamental to give the name
of the artist (Robert Smithson) and the year of installation!
Ultimately,
the case studies provided in the article must be real case studies, and not
general introductions to some artists and artworks, and do not choose a
historical period that is far away from the beginning of public art and
sustainable development practices.

basic structure of the article is as follows, you can add more:
