1. Does "was in absentia" mean "was not constructed yet"?
2. I can not understand the role of "as well as disagree about" in the next highlighted sentence. The highlighted sentence seems to want to say "the need to find the best solution" but what does "as well as disagree about" do here?
So, although the artwork as such was in absentia, a rich conversation about the nature of public art also took place, initially facilitated and given urgency to no small degree by the sheer volume of proposals submitted. In other words, there was some positive understanding in the debate, as it proceeded, of past failures (as well as perceived successes) and the need to interrogate, as well as disagree about, what actually works.
