It's a tight-pack symposium: from Jim Clark's "let art lead the way," to Jones's "shred [it] to plant a tree," the 9am panel set the agenda. Taking stock of "our" public art economy ranges broadly. The public art engagements do seem to have taken us well beyond the Lysicrates monument, (I'll get to blogging/smartphone apping soon, after panel 3). It has also, which what makes this just as exciting, remained relatively unchanged. That is to say, to “work locally and think globally” actually holds true to Ancient Greece as well as to Georgetown College's sculpture program, the New Albany Bicentennial Public Art Project or any recent LexArts initiative. More after lunch.
