It is extremely awesome when you have the opportunity to share the thoughts, ideas or inspiration of an artist from himself. To know what his motivation was when creating its art, could change the whole perspective you could possibly have about the piece by itself. But what about knowing the point of view of an expert Art Critic and a Curator?

This Thursday 2nd October, the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation will be presenting a conversation with French Art Critic Pascal Beausse, who will present an image-based talk focusing on two major exhibitions he& #8232 ;recently curated; Número tres, Barcelona, 2012 and Savoir c'est pouvoir / Conocimiento es poder / Knowledge is Power, Madrid, 2013. Both exhibitions drew from the collection of the Centre National des Arts Plastiques (CNAP), and examined issues concerning familial relationships, urban landscapes, and the view of the body as an ideological object.

Beausse is currently the Head of Photographic Collections at the Centre National des Arts Plastiques (CNAP) in Paris, also Guest Lecturer at HEAD, University of Arts and Design, in Geneva, and researcher in the Curatorial/Knowledge program at Goldsmiths, University of London.

This well known art critic has been correspondent in Paris for "Flash Art" from 1998 to 2013. A member of the editorial committee of the journal Critique d'art, he is also a regular contributor for art journals and magazines such as Art Press, BeauxArts magazine, W-Art. He has published essays, articles, interviews, and catalogues on the work of Maria Thereza Alves, Jimmie Durham, Teresa Margolles, Allan Sekula, Bruno Serralongue, Cécile Hartmann, Thierry Fontaine, Wang Du, among many others.

The event is completely for free and will take place at Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (16-20 Goodhope Street,& #8232 ;Paddington) from 6pm to 8pm, and the conversation with Beausse will start at 6.30pm sharp.
