Joyce Grimm curates Stephanie Syjuco: The third installment of our project opened on August 12 to a large crowd. We were again surprised to see no actual work of the artist Stephanie Syjuco. Joyce Grimm curated the show based on her assignment-based curatorial model, in which she was asked by the artist to choose objects from the artist's house and display them in a way the curator chose. The objects included the artists household personal objects, her own art work, her art collection, among others. A second but critical component of the show was an audio record of the dialogue between the curator and the artist about the reason why the curator chose each object and the artist's own recount on the same object. This being in a seperate room came as an inevitable surprise when after the viewer had seen the objects first, his impression was contrasted by the factual recount on these objects. |
