British artist Ryan Gander will launch the fall 2010 Public Art Fund Talks series with one of his celebrated Loose Associations presentations. In the form of a narrated PowerPoint, the artist will string together a series of images, memories, facts, and histories in a hybrid performance-lecture. These intense and sometimes comedic presentations have taken place across Europe, most recently as part of Art Basel’s new “Art Parcours” project. Gander’s first public art commission entitled The Happy Prince will also be on view at Doris C. Freedman Plaza in Central Park this fall, beginning September 15, 2010. This new work, reminiscent of an ancient ruin, depicts the final moments of Oscar Wilde’s beloved children’s story.
