2016 Curatorial Forum

The 2016 Curatorial Forum with EXPO CHICAGO provided leading curators a unique opportunity to meet and exchange, and exclusive access to the fair. It culminated with a lecture by Sally Tallant, Director of Liverpool Biennial, presented at the Graham Foundation. The presentation focused on the importance and specificities of international art events in regional capitals, with Liverpool Biennial as a case study.

Since 2012, Tallant has transformed Liverpool Biennial by expanding its organizational model to include and prioritize ongoing research, education and production, developing a creative community, and building the city as a place of artistic experimentation.

About The Curator's Perspective

The Curator’s Perspective is a free, itinerant public discussion series featuring U.S. and international curators, and developed as a way for audiences in New York to connect with timely information about a wide variety of international perspectives on contemporary art today. The series sheds light on movements and models that are still in formation or have been overlooked. This year, speakers in the series have included curators based in London, Manila, Paris, and São Paulo addressing questions about art, culture, and the exhibitions in which they are most interested, as well as the artists and the socio-political contexts that are shaping curatorial practice now.
