Francisco Correa Cordero, Curator and Founder of Lubov Gallery 26:00
Francisco Correa Cordero started as an aspiring artist, working at many of our favorite institutions. He stopped making his own artwork in favor of creative collaboration and curating for love. Seriously. An experiment and act of affection turned into a career, a gallery, and a devoted following. Francisco speaks frankly about day jobs; how he can handle projects concurrently in the US and abroad; the importance of old friends and collaboration; and an ongoing struggle with time management. Does he want Lubov gallery to grow and challenge Hauser and Wirth or Zwirner for art market share? Listen to find out his definitions of success.
Francisco Correa Cordero is the founder and director of the contemporary art space Lubov in Lower Manhattan, where exhibitions have been reviewed in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Artforum, The Village Voice, V Magazine, and Office Magazine, among more publications. He has collaborated on independent projects with White Columns, Recess, Silver Projects, Residency Unlimited, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and apexart in New York, and with espace HIT in Geneva, Switzerland. He is also the executive coordinator at Independent Curators International (ICI) in New York.
