Interview With Nora Razian About Exhibition Trends
A discussion with Nora Razian (Head of Exhibitions at Art Jameel) about recent exhibition trends in museums and galleries, specifically how 'research based art' is presented and translated into a final piece of artwork. The discussion includes questions about the proposition of the work and what are curators and artists demanding from an audience, works made for biennials compared to museum/gallery exhibitions, how best to present durational work like film and video and how can the layout invite and engage viewers to watch them in their entirety. We also discuss labelling, how to accommodate multi-lingual viewers, and how artists present works that challenge and contest dominant art narratives and histories. Links to some of the works mentioned in the discussion: Nepal Picture Library at the 17th Istanbul Biennial https://www.nepalpicturelibrary.org/update/feminist-memory-project-at-istanbul-biennial/ https://bienal.iksv.org/en/17b-artists/feminist-memory-project-nepal-picture-library Lamia Joreige at the 17th Istanbul Biennial https://bienal.iksv.org/en/17b-artists/lamia-joreige Christian Marclay - The Clock https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/marclay-the-clock-t14038 A Word to Curators - about making exhibitions accessible https://thewhitepube.co.uk/blog/to-curators/ Watch & Chill 2.0: Streaming Senses at Sharjah Art Foundation https://sharjahart.org/sharjah-art-foundation/exhibitions/watch-chill-2.0-streaming-senses An Ocean in Every Drop at Jameel Art Centre https://jameelartscentre.org/whats-on/an-ocean-in-every-drop/ About our guest: Nora Razian manages the exhibitions programme at the Jameel Arts Centre, and contributes to curatorial thinking across the board.
