A CONVERSATION ABOUT AN EXHIBITION
3.00 pm
PODCAST
During the changeover between exhibitions, the Gallery and Craft Shop
remain open, enabling visitors to witness the behind-the-scenes work of
carefully dismantling exhibitions and constructing new spaces and experiences.
During this metamorphosis, there is a fleeting moment when the space has
potential to be anything. In A Conversation About An Exhibition,
invited curators share their ideas about everything from realistic exhibitions
to implausible pipe dreams and reveal the practical and theoretical implications
of exhibition-making.
