Core Program Lecture | Jody Graf
Jody Graf
November 20, 2024
The 2024–2025 Core Program Lecture Series features a conversation with Jody Graf, assistant curator at MoMA PS1. Graf introduces her curatorial practice and discusses two recent exhibitions—Life Between Buildings (2022) and Hard Ground (2024)—both of which consider the inflection of urban space and artmaking through an attention to boundaries, voids, and materiality. By juxtaposing and unpacking these divergent projects, Graf touches on the politics of emptiness, the quandary of immediacy, and pressures towards narrativity as they relate to her curatorial goals.
