Jes Fernie will be talking at a conference held in Lund in September 2023 about failure, reinscription and the afterlives of public artworks.
Organised by Maddie Leach at Valand Academy, this two day event will discuss issues relating to custodianship and whether ‘failed’ artworks can be revitalised and thought anew; how this raises implications for their authorship and ownership, and what challenges it presents for commissioners, artists, architects, and urban designers. How can producers, owners and custodians of public artworks and the communities and publics living with these works anticipate and accommodate complex afterlives of public art?
Speakers: Patrick Amsellem, Lisa Le Feuvre and Jes Fernie.
