Portal into another world | Rodney McMillian's "Succulent" (2010) | UNIQLO ArtSpeaks

A curator discusses the pleasures-and challenges-of working with Rodney McMillian’s massive vinyl sculpture "Succulent" (2010).
In our latest online edition of MoMA's ArtSpeaks program, a member of our staff shares personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, Marlene Hess Curator of Painting and Sculpture Michelle Kuo talks about Rodney McMillian's "shape-shifting" work, and its new installation that transforms the lobby space into a portal into another world.

I often wonder if some artists just chuckle to themselves quietly.

What is the name of the curator? And not to be a dick but it's a bit reductive in your description just to refer to a POC woman curator aa just curator. Also precludes us from being able to follow her work
