Jessica Morgan, curator of the exhibition and Director of the Dia Art Foundation, and Emma Lavigne, Chief Curator and Director of the Pinault Collection, will present "Minimal" on Friday 19 September from 6.30pm to 8pm in the Auditorium of the Bourse de Commerce.
Bringing together an exceptional group of works from the Pinault Collection in dialogue with those of prestigious collections, “Minimal” traces the diversity of this movement since the 1960s, when a whole generation of artists (Dan Flavin, Robert Ryman, On Kawara, Agnes Martin, François Morellet, among others) initiated a radical approach to art.
Jessica Morgan joined Dia Art Foundation as Director in January 2015. At Dia, Morgan is responsible for strengthening and activating all parts of Dia’s multivalent program, including its pioneering Land art projects, site-specific commissions, and collections and programming across its constellation of sites. Since assuming directorship, Morgan has led a series of initiatives reaffirming and reinvigorating the nonprofit’s founding vision and principles. Since 2018, Morgan has led a comprehensive, multi-year project to upgrade and revitalize Dia’s programmatic spaces.
As a prelude to this talk, you are invited to preview Lygia Pape's works in Gallery 2.
