This week: Patrica and Brian round-table with
Apsara Dequinzio and Alison Gass, Assistant Curators at SFMOMA
about the 2008 SECA award. Apsara and Alison let us in on the
unique curatorial process of the SECA award, including leading tour
buses of museum patrons through rapid-fire studio visits. SECA, the
Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Art, is an auxiliary
group of SFMOMA and has honored bay area contemporary artists since
1967. The 2008 winners are Tauba Auerbach, Desirée Holman, Jordan
Kantor, and Trevor Paglen, who's work will be on display at SFMOMA
begining February 12, 2009.
