Are you missing the crucial lectures on contemporary public art, urban design and architecture? Well I am. Please help me put together an online list to lectures in video or other formats that include visuals and serious thoughts together. Below are a very few that I have found. Must be a lot more.
UPDATE:
On September 5, 2007, slate.com launched slateV.com with 2-4 minute video essays by thier writers. Two years ago, art and architecture critics amoung other slate.com writers started using a very simple slideshow format for the reviews.
UPDATE 2: I-Tunes U was launched this summer as a free service to download audio or video presentations. About 20 universities participating. Only a few Planning, Art and Architecture lectures so far. MIT has better video quality on I-Tunes than at Open Courseware. You must download the I-Tunes Software and use the download for FREE through the Store. One confusion. For videos, the download button must read “Get Movie”. If not, then the download is an audio file.

Building Culture: Can Artists Make Great Places
Strangely, ONLY ONE ARTIST IS SPEAKING: Richard Wentworth
Creativity, Culture and Change are the themes of a one-day conference on leading regeneration projects through art and creativity with a focus on the mega-development at Kings Cross. The event will include presentations of Artists for Places – a partnership between CABE, A&B and Arts Council England; an evaluation by Comedia on the PROJECT scheme to support public art strategies embedded within the planning system; an open forum with key speakers on art, architecture, landscape and planning, debating the role or art and cultural activity within the design of the built environment.
