Carnegie International, 57th Edition, 2018


Presenting work by 32 artists and artist collectives, the exhibition invites visitors to explore what it means to be “international” at this moment in time, and to experience museum joy. The pleasure of being with art and other people inspired the composition of this International—a series of encounters with contemporary art inside the world of Carnegie Museum of Art.

Participating Artists

The 57th Carnegie International presents work by 32 artists and collectives, and one independent exhibition maker. Visit the Carnegie International website to browse the full list, and learn more.

The International’s Cinematheque series presents four Saturdays of film screenings, each unraveling one of the exhibition’s interpretive threads. We start with a matinee program appropriate for kids and families. An evening program for adults is followed by FEAST by a local chef.

The International teams up with our neighbor, Carnegie Mellon University, to present an Artist Lecture Series. Throughout the exhibition, International artists will give public talks at CMU about their ideas and processes.

Travelogues

Maira Kalman illustrated the travels of curator Ingrid Schaffner, with fellow colleague Ruba Katrib for Ingrid and Ruba, part of our Travelogue series.

International curator Ingrid Schaffner embarked upon five trips, each with a different companion, for research and preparation. These trips are fodder for five essayists, who did not travel along, to create new work. The Travelogue Series of essays opens the process. Collectively, Schaffner and individual companions traversed Morocco, Senegal, Nigeria, Romania, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, India, Trinidad, Barbados, Martinique, Haiti, the Bahamas, the Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam.
