Pegi Christiansen has studied the dynamics of public art controversies. As chair of IN:SITE, fostering temporary public art, and as an outspoken member of the Milwaukee County Public Art Committee, Christiansen will focus on five pieces of public art (and reference many others) during the ten-block tour. Christiansen will engage the participants in a discussion about the elements that are involved in the selection of an artist, the role of the “public” in public art, what happens to “permanent” public art after it is installed, and envision the process for a public art project.
