Curator’s Corner: What Goes into Making an Exhibition?

Janet McLean, curator of Modern Art at the National Gallery of Ireland, discusses the process of curating the upcoming exhibition "Picasso: From the Studio," the first major Picasso show in Ireland since a student-led exhibition in 1969. That earlier exhibition, held by Trinity students in a library storage room, attracted 42,000 visitors and featured 97 works by Picasso. McLean explains that curation is about creating connections and a "conversation" between pieces, balancing narrative with practical constraints like light levels, copyright, and lender approvals. The new exhibition, with a sole lender—the Musée National Picasso-Paris—traces Picasso's life in France from 1913 to 1973, showcasing his evolution as an artist.

Meet Elizabeth Catlett in 11 Facts

Elizabeth Catlett (1915–2012) was a sculptor, printmaker, feminist, and social activist whose art was inseparable from her life and politics. Born in Washington, DC, to parents who worked in education, she faced racial discrimination early on—denied a scholarship to the Carnegie Institute of Technology and paid less than white colleagues as a teacher. She became the first Black woman to earn an MFA from the University of Iowa, studying under Grant Wood, and later taught at the George Washington Carver School in Harlem, where she connected with Harlem Renaissance figures. Catlett moved to Mexico, married artist Francisco Mora, and created woodblock and linocut prints for 20 years. She was investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee, declared an "undesirable alien," and became a Mexican citizen in 1962. Her work centered on Black and Mexican women, and she famously stated, "We have to create an art for liberation and for life."

The statement, issued by the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) and New York’s Vera List Center for Art and Politics, responds to the National Endowment for the Arts terminating over $27 million in grants. This follows President Donald Trump's second term, which has banned diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in federal government, forcing DEI offices at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian Institution to close. The White House also published a list of artworks at the Smithsonian it deems to feature 'improper ideology.' The letter aims to rally cultural institutions against increasing pressure on programming decisions.

Lord of the Flies: How This Artist Enlists an Army of Tiny Collaborators

Los Angeles artist John Knuth uses flies as collaborators to create paintings, with over one million insects contributing to his current exhibition 'The Hot Garden' at Hollis Taggart Downtown in New York. Inspired by flyspecks he noticed on a windowsill in 2005, Knuth orders fly larvae by the thousands, letting them hatch on canvases where their regurgitation deposits pigment. The show features works priced between $700 and $20,000, and a custom enclosure at the gallery allowed visitors to see the flies working live during the opening. Knuth's fly paintings gained viral attention in 2013 after a video by the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art received over 100,000 views, helping launch his career.
