Subject Matters: The Butterfly Effect of Curatorial Decisions
Museums are full of singular curatorial choices that reverberate for decades. In this session, UMMA Curator Dave Choberka and Curator of Art in Public Spaces Jenny Carty will trace how decisions made 10, 25, 50 years ago continue to shape UMMA’s collection and programs today. This 90-minute program unpacks the long reach of curatorial judgement and the hidden ways it influences what we se in the galleries — and what stories museums are able to tell.
Subject Matters
Subject Matters is the coolest S in the museum. Each 90-minute session is part mind-expanding conversation, part social adventure. UMMA Curator Dave Choberka teams up with a U-M professor or other special guest to unravel surprising questions sparked by the art in UMMA’s galleries
