In. Practice: Day 1 introduction

Solveig Øvstebø, the Renaissance Society’s Executive Director and Chief Curator, introduces the In. Practice symposium at the University of Chicago, Nov 21, 2015.

As the Renaissance Society enters our second century, we continue to grapple with a number of questions concerning the past, present, and future of the contemporary art institution. In. Practice—a gathering organized on the occasion of the Renaissance Society’s Centennial held Nov 20-22, 2015—offers a series of inquiries anchored in concerns relevant to practitioners from a variety of international contexts and scales.
