Art(s) on the Air Nov 2, 2022 with Erin Dunn

Join Tamara and David as they interview Erin Dunn, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Jepson Center. Her retrospective "Feels like Freedom: Phillip J. Hampton," has recently opened and will run through January 2023, and you have to go see it! 

We chat about how Erin got into curation, tips and advice for anyone looking to enter the field, and the steps a museum takes when art arrives for an exhibition and needs to be checked over for any degradation, plus lots of specifics about the Hampton exhibition and his incredible artistic range. 

Toward the end David gets to ask her his favorite query, and she really knocks it out of the park!

Connect with Erin and her curatorial life here:

 
Bonus - a mini-interview with painter Laura Till Barton (at 56 minutes) about her most recent series of large-scale figures and interiors.
 


Get the answers to such burning questions as:

What are Erin’s favorite and least favorite aspects of being a curator?
What were the steps involved for her to curate and put up her current exhibition?
How did Philip J. Hampton’s work run the gamut from social realism and speaking about the Black experience in Savannah, to the expressionist/conceptual art that had begun to boom in the art world in general? 
Why might artists want to avoid making too much work on newsprint?
