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
