Lawrence Chua, postdoctoral fellow in Asian Studies and visiting assistant professor of art history, spoke on the architecture of utopia and globalization with artists Julie Mehretu and Paul Pfeiffer at a salon in New York City on Oct. 28. It was organized by Art 21, the organization that produces the PBS television series, “Art in the 21st Century.”
The three spoke of their long-time collaborations together, on MacArthur Fellowship-recipient Mehretu’s “Mural” in the lobby of the Goldman Sachs headquarters in New York City and Alpert Award- recipient Pfeiffer’s “Orpheus Descending.” The conversation was the first in a three-part series that continues through 2014.
