The Pulitzer welcomes Dr. David J. Getsy for a public lecture on Scott Burton’s Public Sculpture and the Knowledge of AIDS.
Known for his sculptures and groundbreaking performance art, Scott Burton’s work explored themes of generous participation, queer experience, and the role of art in and for public engagement. David Getsy is the Eleanor Shea Professor of Art History at the University of Virginia and author of the award-winning book Queer Behavior: Scott Burton and Performance Art. He will discuss how Burton’s public sculpture of the 1980s was developed in relation to the AIDS crisis.
This program will take place in our lower main gallery and is free and open to the public. There will be limited seating with chairs on the upper and lower levels of the museum and cushions on the stairs.
Please contact programs@pulitzerarts.org if you require any accommodations to participate.
