Wednesday October 5th, 6:30pm – 8:00pm CST/MDT

Ken Lum’s talk will address the foundations of western public art in the form of monuments and how the monument, along with its expectations, continues to shadow in surprising ways the situation of contemporary public art.

Ken Lum is a internationally exhibited artist and Marilyn J Taylor Presidential Professor in the Stuart Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania.

This session is hosted and moderated by Chris W. Carson (Executive Director, CARFAC Alberta) + Wendy Nelson (Executive Director, CARFAC Saskatchewan). In this ninety-minute session, there will be time for your questions, comments and concerns about contemporary public art in your local community and beyond after Ken Lum’s presentation.
