Artist/educator Pablo Helguera will be leading a workshop with CDRL members on May 5th to help us think about potential strategies for engaging The New School’s Site-Specific Art Commissions, the subject of the Lab’s current book and website project. Helguera holds the position of Director of Adult and Academic Programs at MoMA, but also has vast curatorial experience through his art practice. Working with installation, sculpture, photography, drawing, socially engaged art and performance, Helguera focuses on a variety of topics ranging from history, pedagogy, sociolinguistics, ethnography, memory and the absurd. He has performed and exhibited at Museo de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; ICA Boston; RCA London; 8th Havana Biennal; Shedhalle, Zurich; Brooklyn Museum; IFA Galerie, Bonn; Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo; MALBA museum in Buenos Aires; Ex-Teresa Espacio Alternativo in Mexico City; and MoMA P.S.1, The Bronx Museum, Artist Space, and Sculpture Center in NYC.
