Fresh Approaches to Public Art: The Smallest Museum in the World and Guerilla Benches in the Park

Greg Cook, a Malden resident and arts reporter for WBUR.org
and The Providence Phoenix newspaper, will moderate “Quiet, Please,” a regular

series of talks at the Malden Public Library about arts, cultures and other

interesting things. This month’s talk “The Smallest Museum in the World and Guerilla Benches in the Park: Fresh Approaches to Public Art,” includes artists Judith
G. Klausner, founding curator of the Mµseum—“the Smallest Museum in the
World”—which opened in Somerville in August; Matthew Hincman, who snuck a
curious double-backed park bench into Jamaica Pond in 2006; and Naomi Brave of
Malden Arts, which organizes the annual Window Arts Malden, on view in downtown
storefronts through Oct. 13.  The talk
will be followed by a tour of the library’s Converse Memorial Building art

galleries with art curator Marysara Naczi.
