Objects In Conversation

Send us Fan MailHelen Molesworth has spent a lifetime considering objects. A renowned writer and curator, Helen served in curatorial roles for over twenty years at institutions like the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Helen has made a career of pushing against the traditions of the institutional art world to broaden and diversify both the work it represents and the people it reaches. In 2016, she curated the exhibition Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933-1957, presenting an ambitious range of work that gathered objects across art, design and the everyday. The exhibition illustrated a way of thinking and being difficult to capture within the walls of a museum. In this episode of Objects in Conversation, Kalon co-founder Michaele Simmering sits down with Helen to talk about design, resonance and the art of the everyday objects that shape our lives.
