Curator Talk: Robert Storr "Painting Despite Everything"

Curator Talk: Robert Storr "Painting Despite Everything"
Renowned curator, critic, painter, and writer Robert Storr returns to SITE SANTA FE for an evening of insightful conversation. Storr will examine his role as curator of the 5th SITE SANTA FE International, Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque and will bring in additional perspectives from having served as curator of the 52nd Venice Biennale, Think with the Senses–Feel with the Mind: Art in the Present Tense. Carina Evangelista, Director at Zane Bennett Contemporary Art, will engage Storr in conversation on the critical importance of cultivating artistic practices and providing platforms for contemporary voices at a time that Storr has cited as one that calls for “recentering—while hypertasking—while rolling with the punches.”
For Piet's Sake—Old and New Paintings, featuring Storr’s paintings and drawings, opens at Zane Bennett the previous evening on Friday, October 31. A portfolio of prints based on Storr’s drawings marks the inaugural edition of ZB Editions, which are printed by Santa Fe-based master printer James Bourland.
