Mark Beasley makes a special appearance at the IdeaFestival for a lecture that explores
art in the public realm and its role, influence, and importance in the future of
cities and urban life. Beasley is a curator with Creative Time in New York that
is a cutting edge organization with an international reputation for working with
artists such as Jenny Holzer, Vito Acconci, Shirin Neshat, David Byrne, Felix Gonzalez-Torres,
and Red Grooms.
Beasley’s talk coincides amidst the city of Louisville's ambitious public art initiative
led by the Mayor's Advisory Committee on Public Art (MCOPA) and the consulting branch
of Creative Time. Please join us for this chance to hear a visionary in this realm
as our own city begins the campaign that will encourage dialogue and understanding
through public art.
