Beatrix Ruf: The future of the museum in conversation with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev
Saturday December 17, midday 12 pm
Conference Hall
On the occasion of the exhibition by Ed Atkins, the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea organizes an unmissable talk with Beatrix Ruf, director of Stedeljik Museum in Amsterdam and curator of an important solo show dedicated to the English artist in 2015.
In conversation with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, director of the Castello di Rivoli, Ruf will talk about her experience as a director of one of the main museums: her way to imagine the institution, the notion of archive and the concept of responsibility today. The conference will be the occasion to deepen the radical point of view of one of the most influential figures of the contemporary art world.
Beatrix Ruf (Singen, Germany, 1960), is the Director of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. After completing her studies, she was Curator at Kunstmuseum Thurgau, Warth from 1994-1998 and Director of Kunsthaus Glarus, Glarus from 1998-2001. In 2001, Ruf was appointed Director of Kunsthalle Zürich, overseeing a substantial expansion project launched in 2003 and concluded in 2012.

She has been a member of the think tank core group of the LUMA foundation since 2010. In 2013 Ruf co-founded POOL, a postgraduate curatorial program in Zürich.
