Conversation with Marta Kuzma, Curator

Marta Kuzma is an independent curator, who most recently served as co-curator for Manifesta 5 in San Sebastian, Spain (June - October 2004).  Formerly, the Director for Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) in Washington, DC, and Director of the Soros Center for Contemporary Art, in Kiev, Ukraine (1992-99), her projects often approach a negotiation of state held and public space.

Marta will present Manifesta 5, the fifth edition of the European Biennial of Contemporary art, which brought together more than 50 artists from all over Europe at a variety of venues and sites in Donostia-San Sebastian and the surrounding area.

Her upcoming exhibition, Drafting Deceit, opens at Apexart in NYC in mid-November.

This “Conversation” is free and open to the public.

The “Conversations” series, sponsored by the Center for Curatorial Studies, includes lectures and more informal
discussions by visiting artists, curators, critics, and scholars who are invited to speak about recent work, current exhibitions, and important issues in the contemporary visual arts.
