René de Guzman and Berin Golonu, the curators of
Bay Area Now 4, join Stretcher Co-publisher Meredith Tromble for an on-stage conversation about the exhibition and curating as a creative practice. How did they choose the artists? What changes in the cultural climate did they find from previous Bay Area Now exhibitions? What are their influences as curators, and what influence do they hope to exercise with this exhibition? Stretcher asks the curators what the Bay Area wants to know, now. Taped July 28, 2005. Part of
Green Room Now, Stretcher's series of live public events for
Bay Area Now 4 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Visit
