Bill Sherman (Warburg Institute Director) in conversation with Laura Popoviciu, Curator pre-1900, UK Government Art Collection, on the work of the Collection and its diplomatic mission, with a focus on some recent curatorial projects, including new displays at the British Ambassador's Residence in Ankara and the Holy See, as well as an exhibition inspired by Aby Warburg's 'Mnemosyne Atlas', that was adapted into a 3D digital model.
Curatorial Conversations invites museum directors and makers of recent exhibitions at world-leading museums and galleries to the Warburg to discuss their work. The conversations, led by academics at the Warburg Institute, discuss the issues of setting the directorial or curatorial agenda and staging meaningful encounters with objects. The series is designed to draw out discussion of the discoveries made, challenges tackled and the lessons learned in heading a collection and putting together internationally renowned exhibitions.
