Join artists Alvaro Barrington and Allison Katz with writer and podcaster Helen Molesworth for a panel discussion.
What does it mean for an artist to curate? In 2012, Noah Davis co-founded the Underground Museum in Los Angeles, converting four shopfronts into an arts centre that was free and open to all. A partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles allowed him to devise and curate 18 exhibitions using the museum’s collection, realising one in his lifetime and leaving detailed instructions for the remainder.
Reflecting on their own activities as artists and curators, this panel will think through the role of the artist-curator in dialogue with Davis’s curatorial activities. Moderated by art historian Dorothy Price.
Noah Davis is on view in our Art Gallery from 6 Feb to 11 May.
