Chrissie Iles

On this week's show we chat with curator Chrissie Iles, who since 1997 has been the Anne & Joel Ehrenkranz Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, where she has built a singular collection of time-based media art. In this extended chat with host Ben Fino-Radin, Chrissie tells the tale of how she built this amazing collection, her general approach and philosophy as a curator, her roots in artist-run spaces, and her vision for the future of the art world.Links from the conversation with Chrissie> The Whitney Museum of American Art: https://whitney.org/> Into the Light: the Projected Image in American Art, 1964–1977: https://whitney.org/exhibitions/into-the-light> Dreamlands: Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905–2016: https://whitney.org/exhibitions/dreamlandsJoin the conversation:https://twitter.com/ArtObsolescencehttps://www.instagram.com/artobsolescence/Support artistsArt and Obsolescence is a non-profit podcast, sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts, and we are committed to equitably supporting artists that come on the show.
