- Arte
In this episode Patti Anahory speaks with Sean Anderson about the complex relationship between the curator and the institution. They discuss curating as (potentially) a critical and political practice, one that could feed on or confront the inherited (exclusionary) legacies of institutions.
Sean Anderson is Associate Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art. A Fellow of the American Academy in Rome and the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, he has degrees in architectural design and architectural history from Cornell University, an M. Arch from Princeton University and a Ph.D in art history from the University of California, Los Angeles. He has practiced as an architect and taught in Afghanistan, Australia, India, Italy, Morocco, Sri Lanka and the U.A.E. His book, Modern Architecture and its Representation in Colonial Eritrea, was published in 2015 and was nominated for the AIFC Bridge Book Award for Non-Fiction. At MoMA, he manages the Young Architects Program and has organized the exhibitions Thinking Machines. Art and Design in the Computer Age, 1959-1989 (2018), Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and Shelter (2016), and is currently working on two exhibitions for 2020-21: the first will observe aspects of spatial justice in the American city and the second, South Asian post-independence modern architecture.
