  • A Protest Against Forgetting: A Brief History of Curating
    Sunday, July 19 @ 6:30 pm

    "It is rare that we have the opportunity to celebrate our own ecosystem." —Richard Armstrong

    Richard Armstrong, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and Museum, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director of Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery, discuss the legacy of Walter Hopps, one of the 11 groundbreaking curators gathered together in A Brief History of Curating, Obrist's most recent book. Through their focus on reinvention and experimentation, the practices of these innovative curators provide a guide into emerging artistic landscapes. The program is followed by a reception.

    Co-organized by the Sackler Center for Arts Education and ForYourArt.

    $5 General Admission; FREE for members, students, and staff of other museums with ID and RSVP.

    To RSVP, call the Box Office at 212 423 3587, Mon–Fri, 1–5 pm. Space is limited.
