She will discuss CALL projects that have been done over the past decade to help people connect environmental challenges to personal experience and take action.
Bio: Mary Miss has reshaped the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, landscape design, and installation, articulating a vision of engagement for the public sphere. In 2009, Miss founded City as Living Laboratory (CALL) which works with artists, scientists and urban communities to create sustainable solutions for urgent environmental issues including climate, equity and health.
Miss is currently working on two urban scale projects, ‘WaterMarks: an Atlas of Water for the city of Milwaukee’ and ‘Rescuing Tibbetts Brook One Stitch at a Time’, a project to help bring a buried stream to the surface in the Bronx.
