What ethical dilemmas do curators undertake in displaying and acquiring participatory works of art? A discussion among curators of contemporary art focused on the practical and conceptual stakes of exhibiting art that seeks to reject the disinterested, contemplative observer and demand active, engaged subjects.
Curators participating in this event include Beverly Adams, Curator of Latin American Art at the Blanton Museum of Art; Sheryl Conkelton, Independent Curator; Anna Katherine Brodbeck, The Nancy and Tim Hanley Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at the Dallas Museum of Art; Heather Pesanti, Senior Curator at The Contemporary Austin; and Veronica Roberts, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Blanton Museum of Art as moderator.
