The beauty of an art museum without walls is how it can take advantage of the global village of artists and a whole planet full of untapped exhibition spaces, both formal and quirkily informal, from the majesty of Red Rocks Amphitheatre to a parking lot. Even with a permanent Denver headquarters that opened in 2019, Black Cube Nomadic Museum’s Cortney Lane Stell, who’s been at the museum’s helm as director and curator since it launched just over five years ago, always finds new ways to integrate art into the world at large.
That s a freedom many curators never get to have, and the imperturbable Stell knows it, especially in a pandemic-driven year. So the “intentially nomadic” Black Cube hasn’t been thwarted like other arts institutions, she says, and continues to work at full speed, while making some adjustments to make sure that artists suffering hard times get paid for their work.
