With Ken Lum and Paul Farber. Artist Ken Lum and curator and
historian Paul Farber are the co-founders of “Monument Lab”, a
public art and history studio based in Philadelphia that takes
collaborative approaches to unearthing and reinterpreting
histories. In this episode they discuss the potential of art in
re-imaging public spaces, how their work in public art has been
impacted by COVID-19, what changes they have observed in the past
months and how they consider the pandemic will be memorialized. Ken
Lum’s work “Coming Soon” is currently presented in the exhibition
“Tell me about y̶e̶s̶t̶e̶r̶d̶a̶y̶ tomorrow” at the Munich
Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism.
