Art Talk | Cecilia Alemani
A Time and Place for Curating: Biennials from Venice to Santa Fe
1:30 p.m.
Nasher Sculpture Center, 2001 Flora St, Dallas, TX 75201
International biennial exhibitions pose enormous challenges for curators–vast scales, time pressures, budgets, logistics–who also are expected to conceive cogent presentations that respond sensitively and meaningfully to the concerns of the day–artistic, political, social, ecological, etc.–in the localities where they take place as well as to a broader international audience. Join Cecilia Alemani, Director and Chief Curator of High Line Art in New York, artistic director of the 59th Venice Biennale (2022), and curator of the 12th SITE SANTA FE International (opening Summer 2025), and Nasher Interim Director and Chief Curator Jed Morse for a lively conversation about the opportunities and challenges of curating large, international, biennial presentations.
