Jaume Plensa

Artist Walkthrough

Join Jaume Plensa for a discussion with Brooke Kamin Rapaport, Director and Martin Friedman Senior Curator, Mad. Sq. Art, at Madison Square Park Conservancy. She is responsible for the outdoor public sculpture program of commissioned work by contemporary artists. Plensa debuted the monumental sculpture Echo in Madison Square Park in 2011, and Rapaport was quoted in the New York Times article regarding the project, “When we think of great modern and contemporary public art, usually we think of work that uses an abstract visual language. But Plensa is using an everyday regular person as his source.” In addition to her work as a juror and moderator on issues surrounding contemporary art, Rapaport is a contributing editor and writer for Sculpture magazine, serves on the Board of Directors of Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City, and Vice President of the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation.
