How do we visualize belonging?

CURATORIAL FORUM | ON IMMERSION AND SENSES
Panelists | Anna Gritz (Curator, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin), Andria Hickey (Senior Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland MOCA), Sean Raspet (Artist | Jessica Silverman Gallery), Jo-ey Tang (Director of Exhibitions, Beeler Gallery | Columbus College of Art & Design – CCAD). Moderated by Stephanie Cristello (Director of Programming | EXPO CHICAGO and Editor-in-Chief | THE SEEN).
The format of the contemporary exhibition is one that often relies on sight, and the visual impact of artists’ works within the static space of the gallery, museum, or institution. This panel will trace how the non-concrete senses—scents, tastes, and aural forms—are exhibited in space. Featuring artists and curators whose work has engaged with these senses and their impact on the body, this discussion will navigate different approaches to displaying pieces whose primary sensual interaction deviates from purely sight. From perfume installations, to sonic experiences, and edible artworks, the conversation will trace the impact of senses and immersive practice on recent exhibition histories.

5:30–6:30PM
ART CRITICS FORUM — CRITICISM AND THE IMAGE
Panelists | Ann Binlot (Freelance | Forbes, Galerie, The New York Times), Robin Peckham (Editor-in-Chief, LEAP), William S. Smith (Editor, Art in America), Diego Del Valle Ríos (Editor, Terremotto).
Moderated by Julieta Aranda (e—flux).
How has the role of the image shifted the output of criticism? Through the format of the visual essay, each of the panelists will take part in a short silent presentation before opening into a roundtable discussion. From the perspective of John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, through to current disseminations of the image and its role as a vehicle for narrative in both online platforms and print publications, this program will consider how the image has either replaced or transformed the purpose of the written word.
