How does the lived experience of its collectors shape the whole? Reflecting upon their experiences, panelists will discuss the process, challenges, and limitations of curating a private collection into an extensive museum exhibition.\nThis occasion also celebrates the publication of \u201cIdeas Don't Die,\u201d a curatorial essay on the exhibition by co-curator Tim Hawkinson. This booklet was made possible by the Polish Cultural Institute New York and will be available free to the public for the duration of the exhibition.\n\u201cDeath Is Irrelevant.\u201d curated by Ken Tan, Tim Hawkinson and Marc Straus Gallery in collaboration with the Marc and Livia Straus Family, is a milestone for the museum and the post-industrial region of Hudson Valley, marking the institution\u2019s 15th anniversary and rebranding.
