THE ROSE DOWNTOWN: Panel Discussion - Losing Boundaries: Curators and Commercial Galleries
Wednesday, March 5
6:30 p.m. Wine Reception
7:00 p.m. Panel Discussion
Bernard Toale Gallery
450 Harrison Avenue, Boston, MA 02188

The Rose inaugurates a new "downtown" series of events at the Bernard Toale Gallery in conjunction with their current exhibition Broken Home 1997/2007. Losing Boundaries raises several issues related to independent curators creating "museum-quality" shows in commercial galleries. It is an art world phenomenon that is depleting even more the boundaries between what museums do and what galleries do. Are museums relinquishing their role as places for curatorial experimentation and essentially leaving that to the galleries?

Speakers include Rose Art Museum Lois and Henry Foster Director Michael Rush, independent curator Meg O'Rourke, critic Eleanor Hartney, Jane Farver, Director, MIT List Visual Arts Center, Bernard Toale, Gallery Owner, and artists Judith Barry and Taylor Davis.

The Bernard Toale Gallery is located at 450 Harrison Avenue in Boston's South End.
Event is free for Rose members, $5 non-members.
