EXPO CHICAGO announced two curators for their annual exposition taking place September 22-25, 2016 at Navy Pier. Diana Nawai, associate curator at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, will curate IN/SITU and Daria de Beauvais, curator at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, was selected as the curator of EXPO VIDEO. IN/SITU typically features large-scale installations that fill the exposition's large hall. Alongside these works will be de Beauvais' selections of videos presented in a variety of formats.
President and director Tony Karman noted, “Our IN/SITU and EXPO VIDEO programming continues to receive broad critical acclaim, offering curated sections of large-scale sculptures, installations and groundbreaking video and new media work. It is a great privilege to be working closely with Diana Nawi and Daria de Beauvais to shape these important core programs—both represent dynamic cultural institutions and are two of the most important curatorial voices working today. Additionally, we continue to support our exhibiting dealers and the artists being presented by inviting national and international curators to attend the exposition as a part of our Curatorial Forum.”
Last year, Louis Grachos held the position of curator for IN/SITU and Alfredo Cramerotti was the EXPO VIDEO curator.
