What is The Task of the Curator?
The Task of the Curator is a student collective at the Ohio State University. Since 2015, the cross-disciplinary group of students has curated an annual exhibition of contemporary artworks and organized corresponding public lectures and artist talks. They strive to create a productive space that generates enriching dialogues between the audience and young emerging artists. In the past, they have worked with artists such as Basma Alsharif, Ismaïl Bahri, Ayman Nahle, Lyndon Barrois Jr., Kara Güt, Ann Hirsch, Cole Lu, Alexis McCrimmon, Jiwon Choi, Jesse Chun, Kang Seung Lee, among others. Documentation of their recent work can be found below.
Students from any discipline interested in joining the collective should contact Professor Kris Paulsen or Professor Erica Levin.
