The conversation offers a preview of the themes and intentions for the curated programs at the upcoming exposition this April 11-14, 2024 as well as reflections on recent curatorial projects and a preview of Nicole Eisenman: What Happened at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago opening on April 9, 2024. 

IN/SITU

 is a program of EXPO CHICAGO dedicated to large-scale sculpture, video, film, and site-specific works throughout Festival Hall, and will be curated by Amara Antilla. Activating interstitial areas throughout the historic Navy Pier and beyond, Antilla’s selected artists will expand upon IN/SITU’s legacy of fostering ambitious projects that typically aren't possible within the context of a fair.

Rosario Güiraldes will curate the 2024 

EXPOSURE

 section, which highlights solo and two-artist presentations from galleries 10 years and younger. This year’s presentation will focus on heralding emerging artists and exhibition programs.

Jadine Collingwood will curate the MCA presentation of 

Nicole Eisenman: What Happened

 opening April 9, 2024. Collingwood holds a Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Chicago, and at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, she has curated projects including Chicago Works: Caroline Kent (2021), Martine Syms: She Mad Season One (2022), and Gary Simmons: Public Enemy (with René Morales, 2023).
