How can a biennial offer artists a remarkably open and compelling field in which to produce? Is it possible for such a highly administered exhibition structure as a biennial to paradoxically present a framework for unhindered innovation? Victoria Noorthoorn, the curator of the 11th Lyon Biennial, and the artist Erick Beltrán will engage with these and other questions as they describe their experiences working together on this past year’s biennial, entitled A Terrible Beauty Is Born.

 

Erick Beltrán is an artist living and working in Barcelona. He received a BFA from the Universidad Áutonoma de México, Mexico City, in 1997. His work was recently included in SITE Santa Fe’s Seventh International Biennial, in Democracy in America organized by Creative Time, and in Philagrafika: The Graphic Unconscious.

 

Victoria Noorthoorn is an independent curator based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She received an MA in Art History from the University of Buenos Aires, and an MA in Curatorial Studies from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College in New York. Among other projects, she has co-curated the 41 Salón Nacional de Artistas, in Cali, Colombia, the 7th Bienal do Mercosul, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and a retrospective of Marta Minujín at Malba.

 

Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Visiting Artists and Critics program brings key figures from Latin American to Hunter College to address topics in contemporary art and scholarship through talks with students and the New York community. In addition to this forum, Cisneros Visiting Artists and Critics conduct studio visits and seminar discussions with Hunter MFA and MA students during their residency.
