In this talk
Fausta Squatriti
Since the early 1960s, Fausta Squatriti’s research has been divided between the visual arts and writing. She has exhibited her work in Italy and more frequently abroad, where she was also intensively engaged as a publisher of graphic art and mutlimedia between 1964 and 1986.
Choghakate Kazarian
Choghakate Kazarian is a curator and art historian based in New York City. Her interests are focused on artistic processes and the interaction between biography and artistic practice. She has curated several exhibitions on artists such as Henry Darger, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni and Karel Appel. She has edited several exhibition catalogues and published on artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Louis Michel Eilshemius, Stéphane Mandelbaum among others. She has a MA in art history from Ecole du Louvre and a MA in philosophy at La Sorbonne. She was a curator at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris from 2011 — 2018. She is now pursuing a Ph.D. at the Courtauld Institute of Art with a dissertation on the American artist Albert Pinkham Ryder.
The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Alli Warren reading.
