Stacy Levy is an installation artist who works with nature’s forgotten places. She has created large scale commissions in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Boston, Phoenix and Japan. Her art shows the natural processes of a site, making visible the actions of tides, wind, growth and decay. She uses lyrical diagrams to explain how nature works. Levy will be talking about her collaborations with nature and how art can be the new translator of ecological processes.

The Rose Susan Hirschhorn Behrend Lecture Series:
October Art-at-Lunch lectures are supported by the Behrend Family in memory of Rose Susan Hirschhorn Behrend, a former docent at the Academy and great supporter of its education programs. This year, the Behrend series features four different perspectives on the idea of public art.

The Art-at-Lunch series of talks on American art and culture take place every Wednesday. Bring your lunch and enjoy discussions and lectures with scholars and artists covering a variety of topics related to PAFA’s exhibitions, collections, and areas of interest.
