Free tickets for the talk available at the Main Lobby desk from 5:30 pm.

Minneapolis artist Peter Haakon Thompson creates work made to be experienced outdoors, from custom flags hoisted on abandoned poles to icefishing shacks converted into "art shanties" to a polar expedition tent inspired by French artist Daniel Buren. These interests, as well as Thompson's experience as a sailboat racer and a photographer, made him a perfect pick to cover the regatta at the core of Buren's Voile/Toile – Toile/Voile, a public artwork that made its US premiere at the Walker this summer.
