In this Who’s in town? talk, Ryan Inouye, associate curator of Is it morning for you yet? 58th Carnegie International will speak about the recently opened exhibition that unfolds along two conceptual overlapping currents: historical works from the collections of international institutions, estates, and artists, alongside commissions and new works by contemporary artists.
Established in 1896, Carnegie International is the longest-running North American exhibition of international art. Organized every three to four years by the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, the International presents an overview of how art and artists respond to the critical questions of our time. Organized by curator Sohrab Mohebbi and associate curator Ryan Inouye with curatorial assistant Talia Heiman, the 58th edition locates the concept of the “international” within the geopolitical imprint of the United States since 1945. Featured artworks hold in balance the aims of resistance, solidarity and political representation with the desire to reconfigure our ways of life and being together. In this way, the exhibition brings together an ensemble of erratic, unruly, and intractable attitudes and gestures that inhabit but are not defined by the history of this 126-year-old biennial-form exhibition.
The talk will be held in English.
