7pm
The Trades Hall of Glasgow
The ‘Detours’ series continues on 28 May with Adam Szymczyk, Director of Kunsthalle Basel.
This series of talks presents diverse views from elsewhere by leading curators, critics and museum directors. Speakers explore the connection between practice and context: looking at how different institutions and professional, curatorial practices have taken shape in relation to specific places or situations.
Since 2003, Adam Szymczyk has been the Director of Kunsthalle Basel, where he has organized exhibitions including Rosalind Nashashibi: Over In, 2004; Carl Andre: Black Holes, 2005; Tomma Abts, 2005; Lee Lozano: Win First Don’t Last Win Last Don’t Care, 2006; Goshka Macuga: I Am Become Death, 2009 and, most recently Lucy Skaer A Boat Used as A Vessel. In 1997 he was involved in setting up the Foksal Gallery Foundation in Warsaw and continued to work there until 2002. In 2008 he co-curated with Elena Filipovic the 5th berlin biennial for contemporary art under the title ‘When Things Cast No Shadow’.
