THE 2024 CAPTURE Photography Festival is coming to a celebratory close with the final installation of its Speaker Series featuring Eva Respini.
Respini is the deputy director and director of curatorial programs at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Prior to joining VAG, Respini acted as curator and co-commissioner for the 2022 U.S. Pavilion’s presentation of Simone Leigh at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. From 2015 to 2023, she was deputy director and Barbara Lee Chief Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston (ICA/Boston). Preceding her tenure there, she was curator in the department of photography at the Museum of Modern Art, where she curated several well-received exhibitions of contemporary art and photography. She teaches a seminar on curatorial practice at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design and has published numerous books and catalogues.
At the Capture event, Respini will discuss highlights of Vancouver Art Gallery’s vast photography collection. She has selected a variety of diverse works and will take people on a personal journey of lens-based art that reflects her interests and research over two decades as a museum curator.
A special reception with cash bar follows Respini’s talk.
