Moderated by Jill Snyder (Principal, Synder Consultancy).

In 2024, EXPO CHICAGO will celebrate the third edition of the annual Directors Summit, an initiative that gathers an emerging generation of art museum leaders from across the country for a three-day program of conversations around civic responsibility and advancing organizational growth and change in response to the call for an equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future.

Facing the profound challenges of an election year, the 2024 Directors Summit offers a forum for museum leaders to share how their institutions offer an invaluable “third space” to explore civic discourse and foster common ground. The summit is produced in partnership with museum consultant Jill Snyder (Principal, Snyder Consultancy) and features a keynote lecture at the University Club of Chicago by Dr. Louise Bernard, Founding Director of the Obama Presidential Center Museum (The Obama Foundation).

This panel is presented in partnership with Sotheby’s, Bloomberg Connects, the Terra Foundation for American Art, and the University Club of Chicago.

3:00 – 4:00PM

ART CRITICS FORUM | CRITICISM AS PRACTICE

Panelists | Christina Catherine Martinez and Michelle Grabner (Abattoir) (SAIC Crown Family Professor of Art). Moderated by Tessa Solomon (Associate Editor, ARTnews)

Join the seventh annual Art Critics Forum for a discussion on criticism as practice. It is often assumed that art critics spend their time observing the creations of others and penning reviews about what they see at their desks. However, for centuries, many of the finest art writers have been artists themselves. Moderated by Tessa Solomon, the Art Critics Forum will consider the tradition of the artist as critic, exploring how the experience of being in the studio influences how critics view and write about others’ art. The panel brings together two artist-critics to discuss the symbiosis between making and critique in each of their unique practices.

Presented in partnership with ARTnews.
