Join us November 17, for the final talk of our fall 2010 series! This fall, the Public Art Fund Talks series presents three artists who all transform the conventional lecture into a unique work of art. Ryan Gander presents one of his celebrated Loose Associations performances, a narrated PowerPoint presentation stringing together images, memories, facts, and histories; in his New York debut, Simon Fujiwara, using live video and dialogue, loosely retells his parents' life as erotic fiction in Welcome to the Hotel Munber; and Pawel Althamer creates a live sculpture workshop with the audience, extending the collaborative approach that has defined much of his work. These hybrid performance-lectures provide a window into each artist's practice and present viewers with a new way of experiencing their art. Public Art Fund Talks are organized by the Public Art Fund in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School. Thursday, September 16 at 6:30pm (This talk has already passed) RYAN GANDER** John Tishman Auditorium66 West 12th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues) Wednesday, November 10 at 6:30pm (This talk has already passed) SIMON FUJIWARA* John Tishman Auditorium 66 West 12th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues) Wednesday, November 17 at 6:30pm PAWEL ALTHAMER** John Tishman Auditorium66 West 12th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues) Tickets: remaining talk $10; students FREE *Special thanks to The Compleat Sculptor, Inc. for their support and assistance with Pawel Althamer’s workshop. ** Ryan Gander's talk is presented in conjunction with The Happy Prince, a new sculpture commissioned by Public Art Fund and inspired by Oscar Wilde's beloved children's story. The work transforms the climactic final scene of the fallen statue into a lyrical sculpture reminiscent of a classical ruin (for more information on The Happy Prince, click here). Pawel Althamer's newest sculpture, Sylwia, is one of ten works on view as part of Public Art Fund's Statuesque, an exhibition exploring the reinvigoration of contemporary figurative sculpture (for more information on Statuesque, click here).
