Marta Minujín is a pioneer in transforming passive viewers into active participants through happenings, participatory environments, and mass media art. She made her first informalist paintings in the late 1950s, embracing the international art movement that rejected traditional artistic conventions in favor of abstraction and spontaneity. Minujín’s diverse use of materials, media, and technology are examples of the boundless possibilities she finds in art, a practice always rooted in experimentation.
Our guest, Darsie Alexander was the curator of the influential solo exhibition Marta Minujín: Arte! Arte! Arte! at the Jewish Museum in 2023, where she is the Senior Deputy Director and Susan and Elihu (ELA-h-U) Rose Chief Curator since 2018. Previously, she also served as Executive Director of the Katonah Museum of Art, Chief Curator at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; Senior Curator at the Baltimore Museum of Art and Assistant Curator at Museum of Modern Art, New York.
FUTURE DIALOGUES, a series of conversations between artists and creatives organized and hosted by kurimanzutto and supported by Casa Dragones.
