An Interview with Project Curator, Prem Krishnamurthy in Flash Art
How did you approach curating the first season? Did you have particular contexts or histories in mind?
“Maayan Strauss had in mind historical precedents of artists collaborating with or being integrated into corporate or industrial contexts. Some examples from the late 1960s include LACMA’s Art and Technology program, Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), the Artist Placement Group in the UK, and others. I also had the opportunity to think through several of these projects while working with Sofia Hernandez Chong Cuy on the 9th Mercosul Bienal in Porto Alegre, Brazil, which had a particular focus in both the exhibition and catalogue on these types of collaborations.”–Prem Krishnamurthy
