Artist Clare Patey visited Phoenix last November to continue laying the groundwork for her upcoming project with the ASU Art Museum (more news on that to follow as it develops) and to deliver a public lecture as part of our “Re-Thinking the Museum” series.

That lecture, titled “The Museum Of,” took place Tuesday, Nov. 30, and we’re still thinking about it, largely because of Patey’s unique ability to tackle a subject — “the museum” — on so many levels at once, and with such heart and wit.

The above is an abridged version of Patey’s talk.
