Archaeology and the Art Museum: How To Be an Archaeologically Informed Curator.
October 23 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Sponsored by: Archaeological Institute of America
AIA Society: Madison
Lecturer: Lisa Ayla Çakmak
In this lecture, I will share how my training as an archaeologist has informed my work as a curator in encyclopedic art museums. From reinstalling permanent collection galleries to organizing large exhibitions, my background in field work informs nearly every facet of my work. Whether it is working as part of a team to bring a project to completion or considering the larger (and often hidden or unknown) context(s) of an object or an idea, my archaeological training has helped with every aspect of curatorial work.
