SUMMARY:Curators Talk | Suheyla Takesh
DESCRIPTION:The first in a new series presented by The NYUAD Art Gallery\, in which curators working in the UAE and beyond discuss their approaches to curatorial practice. The aim is to survey the various individual positions and institutional models at work today\, offering a public arena to discuss questions that pertain to exhibition-making\, critical thinking\, artistic collaboration\, and beyond. \nFirst up is Suheyla Takesh\, currently a fellow at the al Mawrid Arab Center for the Study of Art and chief curator at the Barjeel Art Foundation collection in Sharjah. She’ll discuss her work with the Barjeel collection as a case study to investigate the phases of a collection’s evolution: what factors influenced its transformation? And what is the role of a private art collection like the Barjeel in the UAE’s wider cultural ecosystem? \nThis talk is presented in collaboration with al Mawrid. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Emmie McLuskey: Creative Practices and Curation in Sound Art
DESCRIPTION:Glasgow-based Emmie McLuskey works with sculpture\, print\, sound and performance to explore the physical embodiment of communication with a particular focus on systems of learning. McLuskey works across the roles of artist\, programmer\, writer and educator. She sees these as completely interlinked and inseparable from each other\, these multiple expressions\, regardless of form\, all come from a desire to communicate and process the nuance and complexity of our world alongside others. Collaboration is central to her work\, starting with a shared question or observation that she explores more deeply through practice; this has previously taken the form of publications\, events\, objects\, conversations and exhibitions; recent works have centred around interactions in and between bodies\, considering the systems that control and record them. This Sharjah Art Foundation talk outlines her approach and practice.
