ADFAS Brisbane Extra Lecture: Public Art
Public Art
ADFAS Brisbane is delighted to offer our members a special extra lecture presented by David Worthington on 'Public Art' which is a contentious subject. It is the most visible art form and therefore is an easy target. But how do they come to appear in our public spaces? This lecture tracks the development of public art over the last century and looks at various examples to see why are some loved and others loathed. It also explains the process of procurement from the initial commissioning to the production and installation. Drawing from my own experience and using case studies I take the audience through this process and try to show why we are all richer with the presence of art on the streets.
Visitors are welcome.
Date: Thursday 21st May
Time: 12 to 1pm
Place: State Library of Queensland, Auditorium 1
Cost of extra lecture: $40.00 each for members and visitors
