Would you like to meet this curator: Eva Respini? (She curated Simon Leigh for the Venice Biennial)
Published: Tue, 12/27/22
Eva Respini is indisputably one of the most powerful curators in the world…
- She curated the artist who represented the whole of the USA in the 2022 Venice Biennial: Simone Leigh…
- She is the Chief Curator at the ICA Boston.
- Before joining the ICA as Barbara Lee Chief Curator in 2015, Respini was Curator at the Museum of Modern Art for over a decade.
We had the privilege of hosting her at a recent Praxis Roundtable -- a weekly Zoom call where Praxis students meet and interact with influential collectors, curators and gallerists.
Here are some curated clips from that Roundtable:
- Video Clip 1 - She discusses her position as a curator and how museums are increasingly more aware of the things they’ve left out, and how they rely on curators to “find” those artists:
- Video Clip 2 - She responds to my question about the selection procedure of how artists were picked:
- Video Clip 3 - Eva shares the life of a slave girl written by Harriet Jacobs and encourages artists to read it.
, if you’ve ever wondered how the art world really functions, and how artists are selected for these historic shows… Eva Respini is one of the best people to learn from.

Here is the thing:
I’m willing to bet that if you ONLY showed up for the weekly Praxis Roundtables over Zoom* and met the collectors, curators and dealers that are there, without doing ANYTHING else, you will at the very least 3X your investment right away.
Which is why I offer a money back guarantee if you are not happy.
*(And if you are unable to show up live for any of these sessions for whatever reason, you get the recording and the contact info of the speaker afterwards.)
