‘Curating Vermeer’ talk at library
December 5 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The Wellelsey Society of Artists in partnership with the Wellesley Free Library present “Curating Vermeer” a talk with MFA gallery instructor Tracy Rubin on December 5 at 7pm in the Wakelin Room. The exhibition, “Vermeer” which opened at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in spring 2023 was more than a box office success. It was sold out within days, if not hours, and people scrambled to somehow gain access.
The exhibition lived up to all the hype because it was expertly curated. It was an absolute delight to the eye and food for the soul. The hanging of paintings, the wall text, the wall color palette all related artfully to the works and enhanced the experience. Tracy will “deconstruct” how the exhibition was conceived and presented, paying attention to what anyone who is hanging a show should consider. Tracy said “Hanging Vermeer” seemed like a better title for this talk, but alas, sounded rather threatening. Hence, “Curating Vermeer”.
