The Spring 2014 Talks Series: Sam Durant 1 Favorite 

Sam Durant is an LA based artist who engages in social, cultural and political issues through his interactive public sculptures. Durant is interested in investigating historical narratives and their contemporary communities. From 2005-2010 Durant was part of the collective Transforma Projects, a grassroots cultural rebuilding initiative in New Orleans. One of his most recent interactive public sculptures Scaffold is on view at the Hague. On April 23, 2014 at 6:30pm he will give a talk at the New School. The goal of the Spring 2014 Public Art Fund Talks series is to bring together a diverse group of artists to share the inspirations and practicalities involved in their varied approaches to the places and communities that become sites for public art.
