Art NOW series presents Michelle Jacques
12 pm | March 27, 2019
University Recital Hall
Free admission, everyone welcome!
Michelle Jacques will present an overview of her curatorial practice, with a particular emphasis on the evolving role of the collecting art museum in contemporary times.
Michelle Jacques is the chief curator at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, where she guides a curatorial and education program that links contemporary practices, ideas and issues to the Gallery's historical collections and legacies. A generalist by training and experience, she is particularly interested in developing projects that evoke cross-cultural conversations. Prior to moving west, she held various roles in the Contemporary and Canadian departments of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; was the Director of Programming at the Centre for Art Tapes in Halifax; and taught courses in writing, art history and curatorial studies at NSCAD University, University of Toronto Mississauga, and OCAD University.
