    • We are delighted to invite you to our next iteration in our “How To…” series with an inside look at how to spot and nurture artistic talent with Simon Castets.

      Simon Castets is the director and curator of the Swiss Institute, a leading non-profit organization in New York. The young French curator is known for “89plus,” a research project launched in collaboration with Serpentine Gallery director Hans Ulrich Obrist in 2013 chronicling the creative work of artists and other innovators born in or after 1989. Castets has also curated shows for other organizations, including Rachel Rose at the Aspen Art Museum in 2016.
