This talk looks very interesting, not sure if I will be able to make it.

White Cube, Green Maze: New Art Landscapes by Raymond Ryan (Curator, Heinz Architectural Centre, Carnegie Museum)

If in the 1960s and ‘70s, Art found a home in the clinical white interior (and, occasionally, the wilderness) and if, in the 1980s and ‘90s, many post-industrial spaces were impressively retooled for art, today new kinds of parks and gardens are emerging that fuse nature with architecture and landscape with work by leading contemporary artists. This lecture presents recent and upcoming projects for art and landscape in Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, Mexico, and Brazil.

Raymund Ryan is Curator at the Heinz Architectural Center, Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, USA. A graduate of University College Dublin and Yale School of Architecture, he taught at UCD from 1993 to 2002 and was the first Irish Commissioner for the Venice Architecture Biennale (2000; 2002). Publications include Building Tate Modern (2000, with Rowan Moore) and Cool Construction (2001). He is a contributor to Architecture Ireland, Architectural Record, The Architectural Review, A+U, Blueprint, Domus, LA Architect and The Plan.
