Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err.

Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Having grown up in a family that renovates houses, there is a continued fascination with observing their interiors and how people within inhabit the in-between.

Since 2022, SI has undertaken a comprehensive process of examining its carbon emissions, energy use, travel, transportation, waste, materials and other aspects of institutional practice, with the goal of moving beyond isolated \u201cgreen\u201d initiatives toward a broader transformation of how an arts organization operates. Hessler will reflect on how this process has informed SI\u2019s curatorial thinking, including \u201c\u003Cspan\u003ESpora,\u201d an open-ended initiative that invited artists to intervene in the institution\u2019s architecture, infrastructures and working processes, and \u201cEnergies,\u201d an East Village-wide exhibition that addressed ecological affordances and effects, social formations and political arrangements attached to energy past and present. Rather than treating sustainability as a fixed set of solutions, SI approaches climate action as a collaborative process of learning, experimentation and institutional change. This includes rethinking exhibition materials and production, transportation and shipping, travel, reuse, partnerships and relationships with local communities. Drawing on SI\u2019s experiences, Hessler will consider how museums and arts organizations might redefine institutional success, collaboration, growth and progress in an era of ecological urgency.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch5\u003ESpeaker Biography\u003C\/h5\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStefanie Hessler is a curator, writer, editor and the Director of Swiss Institute (SI) in New York.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Having grown up in a family that renovates houses, there is a continued fascination with observing their interiors and how people within inhabit the in-between.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

In this conversation, LACMA curators Leah Lehmbeck, Bobbye Tigerman and Clarissa Esguerra will discuss the curatorial vision behind the reinstallation, examining how the museum has reconsidered traditional narratives through new thematic, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary frameworks. They will explore the intellectual and practical challenges of reinstalling a global collection within a new architectural context, including decisions around object selection, interpretive strategies, audience engagement and accessibility. Through an insider\u0027s perspective on one of the most significant museum projects in recent years, the lecture will illuminate the complexities of large-scale curatorial collaboration and the evolving role of permanent collections in the twenty-first century.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch5\u003ESpeaker bios\u003C\/h5\u003E\u003Cp\u003EClarissa M.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.
