“Curated Cultures”
David Joselit
Professor of Art, Film, and Visual Studies, Harvard University.
Editor, October
Wednesday February 17th, 6pm, via Zoom
“To curate,” has become a term of value and distinction well beyond the art world. Everything from luxury apartments to exotic cheeses is now curated. This lecture considers how this power to curate might work to reconcile differences between what curator and critic Gerardo Mosquera has called “curated cultures” and “curating cultures.” How might the agency to
curate, as opposed to having one’s culture curated by others, become a tool of global justice?
This lecture is free and open to the public with advanced registration.
