SKOR | Foundation for Art and Public Domain is an internationally operating art institution based in Amsterdam, which advises, develops and creates art projects in relation to public spaces. SKOR forms alliances and partnerships with art institutions, central and provincial governments, healthcare and educational institutions, project developers and architectural offices, in order to create a collective platform for art in public domain. The projects organized by SKOR react to socio-political changes in society and new developments in contemporary art, urban design and landscape architecture. Through addressing such current topics, SKOR contributes to the debate about the politics of the public domain.
