'Do the public monuments in your midst speak to you or for you?'Works from the Anna Pierrepont Series exhibited at the Berrie Center for the Performing and Visual Arts at Ramapo College in March and April 2019

Thanks to Sydney Jenkins and his crew for including these works in !!!PUBLIC ART??? INQUIRIES, ENCOUNTERS from February 27 – April 19, 2019.

A group exhibition and series of programs and art events exploring and questioning public art at the Berrie Center's Kresge Gallery where works from the series share space with works by Lady Pink, Matthew Shain, Gregory Sholette and others.

I had no prepared remarks but asked the students if the monuments they encoountered in their travels speak for them or to them.

A question with a much more complicated answer when asked to the citizens of Lynchburg, Va where for an exhibition at the Riverviews Artspace, I asked the same question for an opening of other works from the series less than 48 hours later.
