InFocus Lecture: The Curator’s Hand: Meaning and Experience with Angela Green RSVP
Sunday, April 12th, 3-4:30 pm In-person
The contemporary curator is known as the selector and interpreter of works of art for an exhibition. As the curatorial profession evolves, a myriad of roles have emerged, offering a bridge forward to the audience, the artist, and the gallery and museum. The curator’s hand is a conduit to meaning and experiences, and the range of skills needed by a curator must expand to meet the challenges of the visual culture. Connecting with the creative, hear what is behind being a curator in The Curator’s Hand: Meaning and Experience.
