Urban Field Speakers Series 2008

cockroach
The UrbanField Speakers Series centres on the role of art in transforming the experience of the city. Through lectures, audio-visual presentations and discussions, it explores how creative practices can help improve the quality of urban life and planning in Toronto and around the world. This series of monthly events brings together an array of international and local participants, including artists, architects, curators, designers and scholars, who are working at the intersections of technology, communications and aesthetics. Reflecting a broad range of perspectives and practices, the events build upon each other to inspire dialogue on the role of the city in art, and art in the city.

The speakers this year were: Carlos Trilnick, Peter Weibel, Iara Boubnova, Munira Mirza, Irit Rogoff, and Marc Mayer.
