Now in its twelfth year, The Public Art Fund has produced this ongoing lecture series of presentations and discussions by some of today’s most influential artists, critics, and curators, including Takashi Murakami, Jeff Koons, Rachel Whiteread, Matthew Barney, Gabriel Orozco, Pipilotti Rist, Tony Oursler, Catherine David, Kasper Konig, Okwui Enwezor, and Lynne Cook.

Stan Douglas creates lush photographic series and technically sophisticated film and video installations that are the foundation for nuanced political criticisms and cultural investigations. Over the course of his 25-year career, this Canadian artist has addressed such timely issues as information overload, cultural difference, and the impact of technology on perception. He has also used a computer program to recombine visuals, music, and dialogue in complex arrangements, resulting in lengthy and intricate narratives.

Stan Douglas lives and works in Vancouver, where he was born in 1960.
