A review of the 59th Carnegie International, “If the word we,” at Carnegie Museum of Art and partner institutions throughout Pittsburgh. The essay situates the exhibition within the history of modernist aesthetics and considers how curatorial practice expands the spatial and temporal conditions of aesthetic experience, allowing engagement with art to continue beyond the exhibition’s immediate setting and duration.
