Rhonda Corvese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rhonda Corvese is a Toronto-based independent curator. Her curatorial projects often evolve in response to situations, where she strives to challenge the role of the curator, artist and audience in the presentation and engagement of contemporary art. She is fundamentally interested in exploring the dialogue between curator and artist in the creation of new work that exists beyond the institutional frame and in the examination of contemporary Canadian art within an international context.
