1st presentation

The artist-as-curator-as-artist is present


In the PhD-project “Present Beings – Artistic Methods on Site and in Time”  I investigate the site as a framework for artistic and curatorial methodologies. in this dialectic presentation I will pose questions about the potential and challenges that emerge at the intersection of artistic and curatorial practices.


There is significant variation in the way artists work with curators. A fully collaborative process, in which artist and curator work together from the outset, differs fundamentally from a model in which artworks are selected post-production by a curator. My research focuses on the creative potential inherent in collaborative dynamics and the methodologies employed in such engagements.
