“Love It or Hate It”: Public Art and Controversy

On buildings and sidewalks, in parks and on subways, public art is subject to far more intense popular scrutiny than art in galleries or museums. Join leading scholars and artists to examine how art in public spaces can serve as a flash point for larger social debates, featuring:

Audrey Flack, painter and sculptor
Harriet Senie, Director of Art Museum Studies, City College of New York
Jimmy Van Bramer, Majority Leader, New York City Council (pending availability) 
Michele Bogart (moderator), Professor of art history, Stony Brook University

This is the opening program for our exhibition Art in the Open: Fifty Years of Public Art in New York. To view all of the programs in the series, click here.
