James Plensa, "In the Midst of Dreams"
James Plensa, whose room-sized installation
In the Midst of Dreams introduces
DISQUIETED, will be lecturing this weekend at PAM. This is one of a series of lectures & events in conjunction with the exhibition.

I love Plensa's installation. Absolutely love it. But to me its Achilles heel is the words imprinted on the faces. Too obvious, and a discredit to the brilliance of the installation overall.
Seeing Lavadour speak is a huge, huge treat. But I'd rather have gone to see him talk about his own work.
Would love to hear JL talk about his own work too - but a good question is WHAT work. The museum hardly owns any. Still, both talks should be great.
