CURATORIAL CONUNDRUMS: EXHIBITING CONTEMPORARY ART JEWELRY IN A MUSEUM

Link: Curatorial Conundrums (Art Jewelry Forum, College Art Association, SOFA)

This essay was first delivered on a panel ‘Touch in Contemporary Art’ at the College Art Association, Los Angeles, in 2009, through travel funds provided by the Society of North American Goldsmiths. The paper was further developed into a lecture and presented at SOFA Chicago in November 2009 and subsequently presented at University of El Paso, Texas (2009), Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland, Oregon (2009) Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington (2010) and the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana (2010). The lecture has been modified to meet the format and needs of the AJF website.
