Following the major retrospective of Siah Armajani’s six-decade-long career held at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and the Met Breuer, New York, co-curator Victoria Sung will expand on Armajani’s practice and public art commissions. Sung will focus on the artist’s Reading Rooms, particularly the one included in the exhibition, Sacco and Vanzetti Reading Room #3, and think through the role of museums as public and educational spaces.
