Art historian, theorist, curator and critic Patricia Phillips of the Rhode Island School of Design is the featured speaker for the 2012 Goldfarb Lecture in Visual Arts at York University. Her talk, titled "(un)Public: A Case for Collateral Art", focuses on the nature and reception of public art.
In her illustrated lecture, Phillips will discuss the peripatetic, restless scope and range of art in public spaces, and how this makes critical work on the topic an engaging and bracing, yet somewhat speculative activity.
