Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Melissa Chiu is the incoming director of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Previously she was the director of Asia Society New York and the organization’s senior vice president of global arts and cultural programs.
Hailed as “one of the museum world’s rising stars,” Chiu assumes her new position at the Hirshhorn on September 29th. After a difficult transition year for the museum, what kind of future can we anticipate for one of the country’s greatest repositories of modern and contemporary art? This event will be moderated by Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post critic Philip Kennicott.
