“Interlock: Art, Conspiracy, and the Shadow Worlds of Mark Lombardi” Book Discussion | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Patricia Goldstone in conversation with Mark Van Proyen discussing the life and work of the late conceptual artist Mark Lombardi.

In the fateful month of March 2000, shortly after opening a hugely successful show in New York that unveiled the more nefarious financial connections of Presidential candidate George W. Bush, the hugely ambitious Conceptual artist Mark Lombardi was found hanged in his studio, an apparent suicide. With museums lining up to buy his work, and the fame he had sought relentlessly at last within his reach, speculation about whether his death was suicide or murder has titillated the art world ever since.

Lombardi was an enigma who was at once a compulsive truth-teller and a cunning player of the art game, a political operative and a stubborn independent, a serious artist and a Merry Prankster, a metaphysicist if not a scientist.
