The
Place of Public Art
Brazilian artist and curator Eduardo
Verderame, current apexart resident, will discuss
the complex and ever-changing role played by public art in Brazil --
and, by way of comparison, New York -- based on his experience as an
organizer of several large-scale arts events that are part festival,
part street intervention.
