SUMMARY:Virtual | Annual Leadership Series | Curator's Choice: Alison Gass\, Anni Pullagura\, & Claudia Zapata
DESCRIPTION:ArtTable’s Curator’s Choice program is a dynamic\, Pecha Kucha-style presentation featuring three curators\, each offering a unique perspective on the artists and works they believe best define the current moment in American art. During the program\, each curator will have 10 minutes to present three to five works of their choosing\, followed by 10 minutes of audience Q&A. The format is fast-paced\, engaging\, and encourages a range of viewpoints while fostering thoughtful conversation among arts professionals. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speakers: \n\n\n\nAlison Gass is ICA San Francisco’s Founding Executive Director. Her leadership in museums has reflected a sustained commitment to building globally-minded and community-engaged exhibitions programs and diversifying museums’ collections\, exhibition programs\, staff and visitorship. Gass was appointed the Dana Feitler Director of the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago where she launched the Feitler Center for Academic Engagement. Previously\, she was the Chief Curator at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University\, and Assistant Curator at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. ICA SF isn’t her first “startup” museum. After leaving SFMOMA\, Gass served as Founding Chief Curator at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University\, where she helped launch the new building\, recruited a staff\, and established a global contemporary art program. She holds degrees in Art History from Columbia University and the Institute of Fine Arts at NYU. \n\n\n\nAnni A. Pullagura\, PhD\, is the Margaret and Terry Stent Associate Curator of American Art at the High Museum of Art\, where she co-led a major reinstallation of the American galleries in 2026. Previously\, she was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Yale Center for British Art\, Yale University\, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts\, National Gallery of Art\, Washington\, DC\, and assistant curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. An alum of the Center for Curatorial Leadership\, she has assisted on the organization of several national and international exhibitions\, monographs\, and publications\, and previously served on the Art of the Americas Advisory Think Tank for the Harvard Art Museums. Pullagura holds a doctorate in American Studies from Brown University. Her book manuscript\, Seeing Feeling: Troubling Empathy in American Art\, recasts the museum as the critical ground for engaging with the social and political dimensions of feeling and sentiment in the art encounter. \n\n\n\nClaudia E. Zapata (they/them) earned their Ph.D. in art history at Southern Methodist University’s RASC/a: Rhetorics of Art\, Space\, and Culture program. Their dissertation is titled “Chicano Art is Not Dead: The Politics of Curating Chicano Art in Major U.S. Exhibitions\, 2008-2012.” They received their BA and MA in art history from the University of Texas at Austin\, with a specialization in Maya art of the Classic period (250-900 CE). Zapata was the curator of exhibitions and programs at the Mexic Arte Museum in Austin. They developed several Texas exhibitions\, including A Viva Voz: Carmen Lomas Garza (2009)\, Sam Coronado: A Retrospective (2011)\, and Fantastic & Grotesque: José Clemente Orozco in Print (2014). From 2018-2022\, Claudia was the curatorial assistant of Latinx art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, working on the award-winning exhibition\, ¡Printing the Revolution! The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics\, 1965-Now (2020) and curating Radical Histories: Chicanx Prints from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. \n\n\n\nProgram Admission: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Members – $15\n\n\n\nGeneral Admission – $25\n\n\n\n\nNot a member?
