Here are links to some organizations in Holland that occupy themselves with art in public space (= public art?):
SKOR (Foundation Art and Public Space) is a public art institution, based in Amsterdam, that develops exceptional art projects in relation to public spaces:
SKOR aims at promoting the quality and experience of public space and endeavours to bring experimental approaches and critical discourses on art in public space to the attention of a larger public. The organisation focuses on interaction between art, partner, location, and the public and establishes connections with developments in new media, architecture, urban development, and landscape architecture.
Visual and written documentation about all their projects can be found here: http://www.skor.nl/listpublish-680-en.html
