Talks | Report from the Center for Land Use Interpretation with Aurora Tang at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios

Event Details

Askeaton Contemporary Arts presents Aurora Tang, Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) Programme Director, to talk about her recent projects.

CLUI Programme Director Aurora Tang will share recent curatorial and research projects from the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI), a non-profit research organisation interested in exploring and understanding contemporary landscape issues in the United States. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Los Angeles, the organisation has been continuously producing and presenting exhibitions, publications, research resources, tours, lectures, and public programming—all about the built landscape of the USA as a reflection of its culture and economy.

Aurora Tang is a curator and researcher based in Los Angeles, California. She has worked with the Center for Land Use Interpretation since 2009, and currently serves as its programme director. As an independent curator Tang has organized recent exhibitions at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture (West Hollywood, California), MOCA Tucson (Tucson, Arizona), and Armory Center for the Arts (Pasadena, California). Tang was managing director of High Desert Test Sites (Joshua Tree, California).

Askeaton Contemporary Arts is an artist-led organisation based out of a small town in Limerick since 2006. An ongoing residency programme creates critical cultural encounters in the midst of the Irish countryside each summer, while public programmes, a dedicated publishing press and exhibitions in Askeaton and elsewhere over two decades all aim to find innovative public contexts and resilient relationships for new forms of artmaking to emerge.
