Abstract
The Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh, US) opened the exhibition “Hélio Oiticica: to organize delirium” in October 2016. Alternative versions of the show opened the following year at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. In this interview, Lynn Zelevansky discusses the process of organizing the exhibition at the Carnegie Museum, her first encounter with Brazilian art as an assistant curator at MoMA in the 1980s, the timing of the exhibition, and the importance of keeping the audience in mind.
