This is a special opportunity to hear from The Broad museum curator Ed Schad. Schad will discuss his most recent exhibition Takashi Murakami: Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow as well as his career as a curator for one of the country’s finest contemporary art museums. The Broad makes its collection of contemporary art from the 1950s to the present accessible to the widest possible audience by presenting exhibitions and operating a lending program to art museums and galleries worldwide. By actively building a dynamic collection that features in-depth representations of influential contemporary artists and by advancing education and engagement through exhibitions and diverse public programming, the museum enriches, provokes, inspires, and fosters appreciation of art of our time.

Ed Schad is Curator and Publications Manager at The Broad in Los Angeles. Most recently, he has curated survey exhibitions of Shirin Neshat, Takashi Murakami, and William Kentridge. He also curated Carlos Cruz-Diez's Couleur Additve, co-curated a trilogy of group exhibitions Creature, Oracle, and a Journey that Wasn't, and was the host-curator of Jasper Johns: Something Resembling Truth co-organized by The Broad and the Royal Academy of London. Ed's writing has been included in Art Review, Frieze, Modern Painters, Flash Art, The Brooklyn Rail, The L.A. Weekly, Truthdig, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. In addition, he has contributed essays to mono-graphic catalogs on the work of Robert Irwin, Natalie Frank, Sterling Ruby, Kaz Oshiro, Enrique Martinez Celaya, Annie Lapin, Albert Contreras, Raimons Staprans, Charles Garabedian, Pieter Vermeersch, Kavin Buck, and Liat Yossifor.
