""We've had all these curatorial and directorial activities embedded in the fair for years but not really happening at the centre of the fair. I wanted to make sure that all the curators we're working with year in and year out are more apparent inside the fair.""
""The fair's Focus section, for galleries 12 years and younger, features 52 galleries and was curated by Katie A. Pfohl, an associate curator of contemporary art at the Detroit Institute of Arts.""
""A small section titled Embodiment and curated by Louise Bernard, the founding director of the Obama Presidential Center (OPC) Museum, features stands from galleries showing artists who have been commissioned to create works for the OPC, which will open to the public in June on Chicago's south side.""
Expo Chicago features more than half of its stands in curated sections, reinforcing its status as a key event for curators and institutional leaders. New director Kate Sierzputowski aims to enhance institutional engagement throughout the fair. The Profile sector showcases 21 presentations, while the Focus section includes 52 galleries. A special Embodiment section highlights artists commissioned for the upcoming Obama Presidential Center. Notably, María Magdalena Campos-Pons is featured with works in the Embodiment section, reflecting the fair's commitment to contemporary art and institutional collaboration.
