In 2014, we launched with CoHosts, our inaugural Speaker Series, which was organized with thirteen local commercial, artist-run, and independent galleries. Each gallery responded to a simple question: Who is the one artist or art professional that you want The Contemporary to bring to Baltimore? In 2016-17, we've decided to resume the series and have partnered with five artist-run platforms including galleries, spaces, collectives, and festivals. All lectures are free and held at the Baltimore School for the Arts, located at 712 Cathedral Street. The participating cohosts are: KAHLON, The Agency, Penthouse Gallery, Platform Gallery, Terrault Gallery, and Transmodern Festival.

Raúl de Nieves is a New York-based multidisciplinary artist originally from Morelia Michuacan, Mexico. Across his work, de Nieves treats modest materials with meticulous attention, turning the mundane into the fantastical—with metamorphosis a common theme. He has performed nationally and internationally independently and as part of the three-piece music performance project HARIBO. His opera The Fool, co-written and directed with Colin Self, has been staged at Secret Project Robot and The Kitchen. De Nieves has shown extensively, including exhibitions at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, The Museum of Arts and Design, MaRS Gallery, and Dio Horia. His work has been the subject of articles and reviews in New York Magazine, W Magazine, National Public Radio, The Fader and Art 21 amongst others. De Nieves is currently represented in the 2017 Whitney Biennial and will premiere new performance work this summer at documenta 14.
