Minor Alterations

The exhibitions—Minor Alterations, Landscaping Ahead, and Shift—are organized by master's degree candidates in the Center's graduate program in Curatorial Studies.

Minor Alterations, curated by Kristen Evangelista, explores artists' subtle interventions in city streets through their altering of commonplace objects such as telephone booths, transportation tickets, books, and shopping bags, in media that range from postcards to photography to sculpture. Artists represented in the exhibition include Cristian Alexa, Francis Alÿs, Jane Benson, Sophie Calle, Minerva Cuevas, Gabriel Orozco, and Tim Thyzel.
