Internet Sales are closed for this event. You may pay all fees at the door.
How do you install contemporary works amidst the traditional objects and historic setting of an institution like the Asian Art Museum? How do you fit 31 contemporary artists’ visions into a cohesive space? Kelly Bennett will discuss the process of installing the unpredictable contemporary pieces of the Phantoms of Asia exhibition in the traditional space of our museum. She will also discuss the challenges of working with the living artists and the creative process that erupted around the merging of inspiration, egos, and emotions of those artists.
As the newly appointed Exhibition Manager at the Asian Art Museum, Kelly Bennett coordinates the installation needs of each exhibition. Kelly received a BFA in Photography from the University of Houston and an MA at the University of Buffalo in Arts Management. She has worked at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Houston Center of Photography, the Blaffer Gallery, and the art museum at the University of Houston – and she has also collaborated with museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Modern Museum of Art, and the Sungkok Art Museum in Seoul Korea.
