Taking the exhibition Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957 (2016) as a starting place, curators Helen Molesworth and Anne Ellegood discuss curating historical exhibitions so that the exhibition itself unfolds as an essay in space, ultimately making a specific art historical argument. Take a look behind the scenes as Molesworth and Ellegood unpack curatorial methods and the role of the curator in writing history. Helen Molesworth, chief curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, is the curator of Leap Before You Look. Hammer senior curator Anne Ellegood organized the Hammer's presentation of the exhibition.
