Join us to celebrate the publication of a new book edited by Hannah Star Rogers, Medical Museion.
What Curators Know: Art and Science in the Museum looks at exhibitions not just as places where knowledge is disseminated, but places where knowledge is made. The book contains chapters on different ways to curate across art and science, and tackles big questions about trust, controversy, and complexity.
Contributors include: Kristin D. Hussey, Bilge Hasdemir, Anne Julie Arnfred, Rodrigo Guzman-Serrano, Geoffrey Belknap, Georgina Grant, Hansen Hsu, Rich Pell, Gil Oliveira, Morten Søndergaard, Louise Whiteley, Adam Bencard, Makoto Takahashi, Sophia Efstathiou, Alexandra Murray-Leslie, Clara Åhlvik, and Chris Salter, with a foreword by Michael John Gorman.
The event kicks off at 16.00 with introductions and remarks from guest speaker Dehlia Hannah, curator, philosopher of nature, and Associate Professor of Environmental Aesthetics at the University of Copenhagen, followed by bubbles, snacks, and conversation.
