Public Art and Sustainability: Feb 4

Panel Discussion: Public Art and Sustainability
Organized and Moderated by Sara Reisman
Thursday, February 4, 7pm
Exit Art, 475 Tenth Avenue

Panelists: Jennifer McGregor, Director of Arts and Senior Curator for Wave Hill, a public garden and cultural center in Bronx, New York; Mary Miss, artist working primarily with issues of sustainability, collaboration, and public art; and Mierle Laderman Ukeles, a “maintenance artist” known for her feminist and service-oriented artworks.

This panel discussion will focus on how public art and art in general can be sustainable, with an emphasis on how the terms “temporary” and “permanent” impact the possibilities for sustainability when it comes to artmaking.
