Join us for an afternoon presentation by Jacob Korczynski, a curator whose more than twenty years of practice are rooted in long-term collaboration with artists across exhibitions and publications.
His talk centres on his most recent body of research, including a project that brought together the work of artists Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Jimmy Robert, developed with support from a Curatorial Research Fellowship from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. He will also reflect on how several projects from the past decade anticipated his current thinking on intergenerational dialogue.
He is a faculty member for the Early Career Banff Artist in Residence 2026, a transformative five-week residency that provides mentorship, critical feedback, and studio time to visual artists in the early stages of their careers.
This event is part of the Visual Arts Open Lecture Series, which presents talks by leading Canadian and international artists, curators, and academics.
Visual Arts is supported by the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Program.
