Helen Molesworth, cocurator of the exhibition Luc Tuymans, discusses Tuymans’s work. She helps us contextualize it and consider how the mechanisms he uses intentionally establish a psychically charged relationship between us viewers, his subjects, and the paintings themselves.

Helen Molesworth is the chief curator of Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art.
