Public Property/ C o n q u e s t o f t h e u s e l e s s Property that, according to the statelaw of a socialist country, has been officially transferred to the collective ownership of the state population; ideologically slanted form of state property. In a non-socialist-context, the term refers to, among others, things for which it is impossible to find any reasonable grounds for private ownership, such as air, wind and sunlight. In the work on show, the expression is used to describe objects to which any claims of ownership have been completely abandoned, while further referring to the behavioural patterns of acquisition and requisition by means of which the property of other is taken possesion of. |
