Rewind 001 | Alanna Heiss | PS1 and Beyond

Published: Aug. 25, 2020, 9:56 a.m.

In this lecture Alanna Heiss traces the evolution of a cultural and artistic scene she has lived and still lives as an active protagonist. In 1970s New York, the rejection of the museum led Heiss to a constant search for alternative spaces, where new solutions could emerge. From the very first nomadic projects, in fact, the close collaboration with some of the most significant artists of her generation goes along with the redefinition of the relationship between curatorial research, artistic research and urban structure. It is after these experiences that Heiss came to found institutions such as Clocktower or PS1, which are still today landmarks on the international art scene. The lecture is part of the project The most beautiful Kunsthalle in the world.\n\n17.12.2010, Archive Fondazione Antonio Ratti
