Wednesday, April 23 at 160 Campbell Hall on UVa Grounds.

The University of Virginia’s McIntire Department of Art’s program in Arts Administration and The Bridge PAI will present noted artist and author Suzanne Lacy, Chair of the MFA in Public Practices at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, in a public talk on aspects of her art work and career on Wednesday, April 23, at 6:30 PM in Room 160 at Campbell Hall in University of Virginia School of Architecture. This is a free event.

Suzanne Lacy is an internationally known artist whose work includes installations, video, and large-scale performances on social themes and urban issues. One of her best-known works to date is The Crystal Quilt (Minneapolis, 1987) a performance with 430 older women, broadcast live on Public Television. During the nineties she worked with teams of artists and youth to create an ambitious series of performances, workshops, and installations on youth and public policy, documented by videos, local and national news broadcasts, and an NBC program.

Also known for her writing, Lacy edited the influential Mapping the Terrain: New Genre Public Art, published in 1995 by Bay Press, a book that prefigures current writing on politically relevant performance art. She has published over 60 articles on public art.
