Chloé Pelletier: "Ladies to the Front: A permanent collection activation"

Chloé Pelletier is the Curator of European pre-1800 art at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. This talk will focus on an upcoming exhibition at the museum that will showcase women artists from the permanent collection while exploring the myriad reasons they have rarely if ever been on view, including scale, attribution, condition, and hierarchies of genre. The exhibition encourages audiences to gain critical insight into the workings of museums and feel empowered to question what and who define great art.
