"Latitudes in conversation with Yasmil Raymond", Curator, Dia Art Foundation in New York. Tuesday 19 February, 19:30h, Auditori Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA).
This event is part of Latitudes' ongoing #OpenCurating research, which analyses the implications of Web 2.0, participation and transparency for contemporary art production and programming.
The conversation with Dia Art Foundation's curator Yasmil Raymond will address Dia's historical identity, the evolving role of the curator, and Raymond's vision in commissioning and preserving art projects. The evening will incorporate "crowd-sourced" questions solicited through the Twitter hashtag #OpenCurating.
