Elena Filipovic and Lucy Steeds Discuss Artists as Curators at Central Saint Martins
On November 27, 2017, Central Saint Martins at the University of the Arts London will feature a public discussion with art historian Elena Filipovic and writer Lucy Steeds, focusing on how artists take on curatorial roles. Filipovic will draw from her recent book, 'David Hammons: Bliz-aard Ball Sale', which delves into Hammons' unique 1983 venture of selling snowballs on New York streets. Steeds will analyze a piece from Afterall's Exhibition Histories series, specifically 'an Exhibit', a complex installation by Richard Hamilton and Victor Pasmore, with input from Lawrence Alloway, first shown in Newcastle in 1957 before relocating to the ICA in London. This free event, part of the BA Fine Art Monday Guest Lecture Series, requires booking through Eventbrite.
