Description

Washington Project for the Arts, in collaboration with Arlington Public Art, presented this participatory lecture as part of their 2012-2013 Professional Practices series, for artists and project sponsors interested in sharpening their skills preparing for public art commissions. St. Louis-based artist and Washington University Sam Fox School of Architecture Professor Ben Fehrmann, who recently completed a public artwork ballston*substation in Arlington County, presented Where to Start: Site Analysis and Design Thinking for Public Art. In this talk, Fehrmann discusses what it takes to begin a public work and the processes taken and mindsets engaged when diving into the realm of public art. Fehrmann was introduced by Scott Kratz, Vice President for Education, National Building Museum; Lisa Gold, Executive Director, Washington Project for the Arts; and Angela Adams, Arlington County Public Art Administrator.
