Daniel Merritt, at just 32, has taken an unconventional approach as the chief curator of the Aspen Art Museum, incorporating winter sports into art experiences. Last winter, he initiated the exhibition 'Alex Israel: Heaven' in a repurposed abandoned restaurant on a ski slope, drawing a considerable number of visitors.

They are redefining exhibitions as more accessible spaces that challenge traditional norms and elevate previously overlooked cultures.
