The Toby, Indianapolis Museum of Art
During the period following WWII, a great surge of collective energies -- the Modern movement -- redefined traditional values, beliefs, and artistic forms.
Unfortunately, reasoned criticism did not follow, and until recently Modern landscapes slipped beyond even the peripheral vision of art historians.
From America's first "park plaza" in Minneapolis to Dan Kiley's revolutionary design for the Miller Garden in Columbus, we must have a commitment to preserving and interpreting Modernist landscape architecture.
In this program, Charles A. Birnbaum, president of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, offers recommendations and strategies to preserve these often "invisible" public and private places that represent a significant chapter in our nation's evolution.
The lecture takes place at The Toby at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
FREE but registration requested at https://modernistlecture.eventbrite.com, or call Indiana Landmarks at 800-450-4534, 317-639-4534.
Presented by Indiana Modern, an affinity group of Indiana Landmarks, and sponsored by the Cornelius O'Brien Lecture Series Concerning Preservation with additional support from the Indiana Chapter of the American Society of Landscapes Architects.
This program is offered in conjunction with Indiana Landmarks' Back to the Future Mid-century Modern Home Tour on Saturday, May 31 in Indianapolis.
