Amir Kakabadze, Untitled, 1979. Fabric and metal collage on wood. Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union.
In their very different roles as curators of recent exhibitions, panel participants reflect on the challenges of real world threats, ideological debates, and institutional frameworks that each has encountered, as their shows have been mounted and received by audiences during Russia's invasion of Ukraine this year.
Panel Members:
- Corina Apostol, Curator, Tallinn Art Hall, Tallinn, Estonia
- Kristaps Ancāns, Head of M.A. Programme, Academy of Art of Latvia, Riga
- Sopio Gagoshidze, Graduate Fellow, Zimmerli Art Museum
- Jane Sharp, Professor of Art History and Research Curator, Zimmerli Art Museum
Moderated by Maura Reilly, Director, Zimmerli Art Museum
A light reception follows the discussion.
Held in conjunction with Locating Georgia: Selections from the Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union. The exhibition and related programs are made possible by the Avenir Foundation Endowment Fund.
