Curation
Natasha Schlesinger curates independently and as part of the Space2Curate platform for galleries and other venues. Below are some of the past curated exhibitions. SPACE2CURATE is a concept for pop-up art curations, installations and events at a variety of spaces from commercial and residential lobbies to empty storefronts to hotels. The new curatorial platform re-imagines the definition of an art exhibition and where an art exhibition should take place: outside of the white cube gallery space, outside of your home, outside of a museum.
