Meg Rotzel – MON 28.11.2022 at 10am
Meg Rotzel is an artist, curator and producer of exhibitions and public programs in the research university context. She is curator of exhibitions at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study where she organizes contemporary art projects in the Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, and exhibitions that draw from the collections of the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America. Meg approaches her curatorial work within institutions as an artist and collaborator. After attending art school, she founded and directed the Boston based artist-run non-profit Berwick Research Institute with other area artists, and developed residency programs for artists and curators in their early careers. She then worked for a decade at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she organized artist projects for the Center for Advanced Visual Studies and the Center for Art, Science and Technology. She received a MA from Brown University in Public Humanities, a BFA from Tufts University, and a Diploma from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.
In this talk, Meg Rotzel will address commissioning new artworks and exhibitions with artists that originate from archives and museum collections. Meg will discuss recent projects with artists Mary Lum, Gala Porras-Kim, and Xaviera Simmons. Each of these projects, presented at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute, were inspired by and push upon institutional contexts.
