Parsons Fine Arts hosts Curator’s Perspective: Kitty Scott Tuesday, November 7, 2017 78:30pm Kellen Auditorium, The New School 66 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10011 FREE and open to the public As part of ICIs Curators Perspectivean itinerant public discussion series featuring national and international curatorsKitty Scott (co-curator, Liverpool Biennial 2018) will present on her research towards the upcoming 10th edition of the Biennial, Beautiful world, where are you? She will discuss questions that helped shape her thinking, such as: Why do these city-based, iterative events continue to matter? Is it possible to disentangle the optimism of the globality of their vision of contemporary art from the cynicism of the financial globalism that sustains them? At its best, the structure of the biennial opens up a fold in space and time: a pocket that, if fragile and ephemeral, nevertheless exists outside of the rigid bureaucracies of more traditional institutional forms like the museum or the gallery. The Liverpool Biennial 2018, Beautiful world, where are you? invites artists and audiences to reflect on a world of social, political and economic turmoil. This event is free and open to the public. To attend, please RSVP to rsvp@curatorsintl.org with KITTY in the subject line. Hosted by Parsons Fine Arts. 
The Curators Perspective is a free, itinerant public discussion series featuring U.S. and international curators, and developed as a way for audiences in New York to connect with timely information about a wide variety of international perspectives on contemporary art today. The series sheds light on movements and models that are still in formation or have been overlooked. This year, speakers in the series will include curators based in Chicago, Medellín, Münster, New Orleans, and Toronto, addressing questions about art, culture, and the exhibitions in which they are most interested, as well as the artists and the socio-political contexts that are shaping curatorial practice now. The Curators Perspective series has been made possible, in part, by grants from the Hartfield Foundation and by generous contributions from the ICI Board of Trustees and ICI Access Fund. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with City Council.
