The Curators' Quaderno: Issue 2

Louise Bourgeois in Florence

Second in a series that began with Lola Costa: An Artist at Il Palmerino, the September issue, Louise Bourgeois in Florence, invites readers to visit two of Florence’s most iconic museum spaces, Museo Novecento and Museo degli Innocenti to explore the French-born US artist’s ‘site-specific’ sculptures and gouaches on themes linked to maternity. The ‘Louise Bourgeois in Florence’ project and exhibition, sponsored by Calliope Arts and Christian Levett Collection / FAMM, is organised by the Museo Novecento, in collaboration with The Easton Foundation and the Museo degli Innocenti.

“Exhibitions, cultural festivals and grant projects aimed at the rediscovery of women’s contributions to history and their relevance today do not begin on inauguration day,” Margie MacKinnon explains. “They are the product of a far longer process of courage and ‘care’, in which creative personalities or ‘curators’ band together to research, rediscover, document, or display these women’s achievements. The Curator’s Quaderno is about insight into curators intentions. It is the starting point of a journey the reader shares.”
