Description

The dissertation project explores the interface of exhibiting, authorship, and gender in contemporary curatorial practices. It focuses on the potentials of curatorial formats to question intentional control, heroic myths of creation, and supposedly neutral display. Informed by gender-studies approaches and debates on cultural agency, the aim is to investigate how particularly relational conceptions of the curatorial may contribute to rethinking authorship in a way that acknowledges the complexities of cultural practices of meaning-making.
