New York / Milwaukee, USA

Mary Miss has been redefining how art is integrated into the public realm since the early 1970s. She is interested in how artists can play a more central role in addressing the complex issues of our times—making environmental and social sustainability into tangible experiences. She developed the “City as Living Lab”, a framework to make sustainability issues tangible through collaboration and art. Miss’s influential work has been recognized by numerous awards, including the Urban Land Institute’s Global Award for Excellence and the 2017 Bedrock of New York City Award. She has also received three grants from the National Science Foundation.
