Aug. 8
7-9 p.m.
The Art Foundation presents Art in the Public Sphere
The McKinney Avenue Contemporary
3120 McKinney Ave.
Dallas, TX
a series of brief art talks Organized by The Art Foundation, “Art in the Public Sphere” will be a series of brief slide presentations on the subject of public art, in its myriad iterations, by a panel of artists, curators and art facilitators. A wide-range of perspectives on the function of art in the public sphere will be addressed, from fostering community through one-time, participatory events, to beautifying the urban landscape with objects, to the nuts and bolts of acquiring sites and working with commercial entities to realize a project, as well as the notion of the Internet as public domain. Though their approaches are varied, each contributor in "Art in the Public Sphere" believes in the importance of artists activating public space in nontraditional ways. Following a brief video by the creator of Aesthletics, artist Tom Rusotti, opening remarks will be made by Nasher Sculpture Center Senior Curator, Jed Morse. Presentations will then be given by Dallas artist/curator Cynthia Mulcahy, Austin artist Shawn Smith, Dallas' Henderson Art Project coordinator Scott Trent, and members of the artist-run Dallas Biennial. Plans for a proposed land art project in West Dallas by San Diego artist Robert Andrade, in collaboration with The Art Foundation, will also be presented.
