Helen Molesworth in Conversation: Book signing follows

Join a conversation with writer, curator, and podcaster Helen Molesworth and Ohio State’s Vice Provost for the Arts Lisa Florman in this Columbus-exclusive event.

Molesworth—who organized Part Object Part Sculpture, Shiny, and retrospective exhibitions of Louise Lawler and Luc Tuymans at the Wex—returns for a reading from her new book, Open Questions: Thirty Years of Writing about Art followed by a discussion with Florman. Over the past three decades, Molesworth’s singular voice and lively curatorial vision have established her as one of the most dynamic and influential thinkers in the art world. Open Questions, the first ever collection of her writings, presents 24 essays from the past 30 years gathered from exhibition catalogues and art publications such as Artforum, Document, frieze, and October.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Molesworth and Florman will explore art’s unique capacity for merging knowledge and feeling, reflect on Molesworth’s past writing, and consider new ways of viewing and thinking about contemporary art.

The conversation will be followed by a book signing in the lower lobby. Light appetizers will be provided during the signing.
