Danae Mossman has recently been appointed as Associate Producer at Situations, to cover the absence of Director Claire Doherty (on maternity leave until June 2010).
The talk will be an opportunity to meet Danae and to hear about some recent curatorial projects, with an emphasis on her time as co-curator (with Fulya Erdemci) of Wandering Lines Towards a New Culture of Space for the 2008 SCAPE Christchurch Biennial of Art in Public Space in New Zealand and co-curator (with Kate Montgomery) of a project by Thomas Hirshhorn in Christchurch for One Day Sculpture in New Zealand.
Refreshments will be provided before and after the talk.
