Sustained Reflections: Interview with Eungie Joo
By Sylvia Tsai
Last November, the Sharjah Art Foundation (SAF), in the United Arab Emirates, announced Eungie Joo as curator of Sharjah Biennial 12, which opens in March 2015. Previously the Director of Art and Cultural Programs at Instituto Inhotim in Brazil and the Keith Haring Director and Curator of Education and Public Programs at the New Museum in New York City, Joo recently curated SAF’s seventh annual March Meeting, titled “Come Together.” This four-day symposium of presentations and panel discussions by cultural practitioners has become a notable platform for exchange between artists, curators and researchers. At the meeting, Joo spoke with ArtAsiaPacific on her initial impressions of the art conference, her approach to “reactivating” the format, and also shared some thoughts about the upcoming Biennial.
