The Journal
2024 Gratitude List
Thank you for joining us as we transform Boston through the power of public art!
Indigenous Perspectives
Triennial 2025 Curator Tess Lukey joined us to discuss the diverse practices of the Indigenous artists participating in the Triennial, dive into the community engagement that sets this Triennial apart from other exhibitions, and explain why you might want to avoid raking up all those leaves in your backyard.
Cannupa Hanska Luger
We sat down with Cannupa Hanska Luger to cross the space-time continuum, learn about the biological result of increased oxygen in the atmosphere, and hear how he’s putting his extensive blanket collection to use.
The Exchange
Artistic Director Pedro Alonzo and Curator Tess Lukey share their perspectives on curating The Exchange, their vision for The Triennial 2025, and why experiencing the Triennial might be like meandering along a riverway.
Mathieu Gaulin
Public art activates communities in unexpected ways, says Mathieu Gaulin, Senior Director, Professional Medical Staff Services at Boston Children's Hospital, national leadership speaker, and contemporary art collector. One of the most recent additions to the Board, Mathieu looks forward to seeing how the Triennial will advance city-wide opportunities to interact with public art. We talked with him about the impact of the natural world on public art and the intersection of arts education and community-building.
Matt Thoms
Matt Thoms illustrates the surprising similarities between public art and startups and how that will aid him in contributing to the Board as one of our newest additions. As co-founder and General Partner at Baukunst, Matt’s ability to identify bold opportunities and counter the resulting risks makes him an outstanding addition to the Board. We talked with him about experimenting with new ideas and sparking community-wide conversations through public art.
Beatriz Cortez
Beatriz Cortez shares about her first piece in the Venice Biennale this year, a trip to the Arctic, Boston’s history of whaling, and more in this interview with Boston Public Art Triennial.
