A Virtual Introduction: Curator of the 58th Carnegie International, Sohrab Mohebbi
We invite you to join Eric Crosby, the Henry J. Heinz II Director of Carnegie Museum of Art, for a special introduction to the Kathe and Jim Patrinos Curator of the 58th Carnegie International, Sohrab Mohebbi.
The Carnegie International, a tradition since 1896, is the longest-running survey of contemporary art in North America. An art critic, writer, and curator, Mohebbi will be bringing the museum’s signature exhibition to life in May 2022. He will lead a diverse network of artists, writers, and filmmakers to compose an International that will speak to the urgent issues of today and immerse the city of Pittsburgh in contemporary art and creativity.
On January 21, learn about Sohrab’s ideas for making the exhibition a “document of its time,” how he conducts research in the middle of a pandemic, and what his plans are for spreading art and programming throughout the city. If you have ever been curious about the collaborative and interdisciplinary undertaking of the Carnegie International, then you won’t want to miss this event!
