Curators Robert Crouch and Ciara Ennis will discuss the work of the Chilean artist, Juan Downey (1940-1993), the focus of the two-part exhibition, Juan Downey: Radiant Nature that took place at LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions) and Pitzer College Art Galleries during the fall of 2017. This exhibition forms part of the Getty Foundation’s far-reaching Pacific Standard Time initiative, exploring the relationship between Los Angeles and Latin America. While Downey is primarily known for his post-1975 pioneering video work, Crouch and Ennis’s presentation will focus on three early bodies of work: Electronic Sculptures, Happenings & Performances, and Life Cycle installations, made between 1967 and 1974, which have not been seen or experienced for decades.

This program is part of a talk series featuring the curators of some of the key exhibitions organized as part of Pacific Standard Time (PST): LA/LA in California this Fall. The series offers New York audiences an opportunity to learn first-hand about the curatorial ideas and research generated by PST: LA/LA.


This event is free and open to the public. To attend, please RSVP to rsvp@curatorsintl.org with JUAN in the subject line.
