Curating Private Art Collections: 2019 International Curatorial Symposium
‘Curating Private Art Collections’ was a one-day symposium that invited five curators overseeing international private collections to Hauser & Wirth Somerset on occasion of the exhibition ‘Unconscious Landscape. Works from the Ursula Hauser Collection’.
The symposium was a forum for engagement, discussion and reflection. The panel, each sharing their personal experiences and extensive knowledge, explored the practicalities, pleasures and politics of curating private collections in today’s cultural landscape, and what it means for the future. The symposium was chaired by art critic and journalist, Louisa Buck.
