What do you think about Cleveland?

Join us for this participatory forum with Carl Pope, a conceptual artist whose photographic and multimedia investigations of the socio-economic landscape of Indianapolis earned critical acclaim at venues including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago. This semester, Pope is a joint visiting fellow at The Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University and The Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) where he is working on his current public artwork project, The Mind of Cleveland.

Pope will discuss his project, which he describes as a public conversation in billboard/poster form, a conceptual town meeting where everyone has the opportunity to be heard publicly.

Forum participants will have an opportunity to answer the question, “What do you think about Cleveland?”

Our Place in the Urban Age is a year-long series celebrating of the 30th anniversary of the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs. The forum series, entitled Our Place in the Urban Age, will explore the dynamic role of cities in a world transformed by technology, climate change, modern lifestyles and a global economy. What will America’s urban centers look like in what some are calling the Urban Age? What economic functions will cities serve, how will the quality of life change, and how will Cleveland and Northeast Ohio adapt?
