Afterall's Exhibition Histories Talks: Ruth Noack on Curatorial Practice

On December 12, 2013, Afterall published a video featuring the fourth Exhibition Histories Talk, where curator Ruth Noack engaged in dialogue with Pablo Lafuente. During the discussion, Noack elaborated on her curatorial endeavors, notably 'Dinge, die wir nicht verstehen' ('Things We Don’t Understand', 2000) and The Government (2003–05), both of which she co-curated alongside Roger M. Buergel. This talk is part of a series that examines exhibitions through the perspectives of curators, produced in partnership with Whitechapel Gallery and the Exhibition Histories initiative at Bard College. Future events include a talk by Sharon Chin on January 31, 2024, an April 11, 2023 discussion titled 'Can the Subaltern Speak?', and a symposium named 'Precarious Solidarities' on February 2, 2023, organized by Afterall.
