Purpose of use

The installation image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in David Schafer's career: his public art projects of the 1990s that used deconstructive strategies that recontextualized historical texts and aesthetic strategies and juxtaposed them with built structures to explore the heritage of past ideals and notions of public space in contemporary society (in this case, 19th-century ideas about public parks as works of art and vision). Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key type of text-based art practice and the strategies it utilizes. Schafer's work of this type and this work in particular was exhibited prominently, and is discussed extensively in the article and by critics cited in the article.

Replaceable?
