Why and how do artists develop their vision in contact with for-profit companies and public institutions? This fourth part of the titled “Art, Industry and Public Spaces” (Mon April 15 SBUS Lecture Hall 101 6:30-8:30PM) explores the aesthetic and political implications of turning a work of art into a fine design product like wallpaper or into the architectural element of a public space, whether a subway station or a city theater lobby.
The creative production of , active both in Italy and the U.S., which weaves together the legacy of nature-inspired ornamental motifs and the subtle denunciation of environmental, technological, and visual pollution is at the center of a conversation with the artist himself, (MTA Arts & Design) and (Maharam Textiles), on creativity, manufacturing, distribution and exhibiting across the ocean. The conversation will be moderated by (Art and Design) and Teresa Fiore (Inserra Chair), with remarks by Sharon Waters (Feliciano Center).
