Darsie Alexander, former chief curator at the Walker Art Center and Williams alumna (MA '91), has a close read on the subtle and dramatic shifts in artistic and curatorial practices. "Now more than ever," she says, "institutions are looking at ways to animate the meaning of art beyond what is experienced by observing it in the first person." Alexander discusses meeting the challenges of contemporary museum practice, and the implications for future arts leaders.
