ON THE PUBLICNESS OF GUSTAV METZGER

Part 2 of the Gustav Metzger Lecture Series: On the Publicness of Gustav Metzger by Carina Plath

The second of the Ben Uri event series for upcoming exhibition Becoming Gustav Metzger, Uncovering the Early Years 1945-59.

 

Carina Plath (Deputy Director, Sprengel Museum, Hannover Germany) discusses the 'public-ness' of Gustav Metzger's work, his early proposals for monuments and the idea of occupying space by artists, which later is resumed in sculpture projects such as Aequivalenz: Shattered Stones (2007), followed by a Q&A.
