Discussion, The Factory

What are the promises, premises and pitfalls of studying art today? How different are art schools in the US compared to Germany? How does an art school like Städelschule react to and engage with the political, social and cultural challenges of our time? Join us in an open and informal conversation with Yasmil Raymond, Rector of the internationally-renowned Städelschule on these and many more topics.

Yasmil Raymond is an author and curator and since April 2020 Rector of the Städelschule and Director of Portikus. Raymond, who grew up in Puerto Rico, draws from many years of experience as a curator in US-museums before moving to Frankfurt. She was curator at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, at the Dia Art Foundation, and Associate Curator at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. At these institutions, she curated seminal exhibitions on artists such as Kara Walker, Thomas Hirschhorn, Tomas Saraceno, Tino Sehgal, Allora & Calzadilla, Yvonne Rainer, Franz Erhard Walther, Trisha Brown, Yoko Ono and Carl Andre. Yasmil Raymond received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999, and an MA from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, in 2004.
