Live panel debate from New York: Curators at Work: Curating beyond Institutional Walls
Watch the liverecording here
For this Curators at Work ISCP curators-in-residence Ida Schyum and Håkon Lillegraven will be joined by Alison Burstein, Curator, The Kitchen, New York; Prerana Reddy, Arts & Community Fellow, Recess Art, New York; and Ian Wallace, Curatorial Assistant, New Museum, New York. They will discuss the potential of curating and programming beyond institutional walls and dedicated exhibition spaces, exchanging perspectives on how curating beyond institutional boundaries engages new audiences and encourages a more varied art environment. They will address how these practices lead to important ethical considerations about where, for whom, and how art institutions should operate today.
Operating as a curator at the nomadic Museum of Contemporary Art in Denmark, Ida Schyum will present the museum’s considerations behind moving out of its traditional building in order to engage new audience groups and care for art practices situated beyond the white cube. Håkon Lillegraven will speak about his experience as a curator of interdisciplinary public programs as both an independent curator and for institutions, public space, and nomadic and digital platforms. Alison Burstein and Ian Wallace will talk about the challenges and promises of working outside their institutional facilities, while Prerana Reddy will discuss alternative forms of public engagement in nontraditional viewing conditions.
The panel debate takes place on Tuesday, October 24th, from 6-8 PM (24-02 Danish time) in New York, (1040 Metropolitan Avenue) but you can watch live from home via ISCP’s Instagram profile @iscp_nyc.
No registration is required to participate.
