- Additional information
- This ongoing research includes 11 curated exhibitions presented over 10 different countries, including major venues in Mexico City, Madrid, Rome, Brussels and Bogotá. This research, and exhibitions, involved the participation of over 200 major international artists, with accompanying publications and 3 published texts. Investigating the context of the visual arts and the practice of curating, this ongoing research mines how both can be used to draw out new meaning or renew meaning, particularly when addressing the particularities of various contexts, including the societal, political and art-historical makeup of, and surrounding of, a place for presentation. Through the invention of unorthodox and fresh exhibition concepts, it positions the practice of curating as a vehicle through which to enrich the understanding of contemporary art for the public and examines how contemporary art can enrich the public. The exhibitions and texts are the result of working with, and presenting the works of, internationally established artists such as Chris Burden, Louise Lawler, Ryan Gander OBE, Isa Genzken and Turner Prize Nominee Tris Vonna-Michell. The exhibitions examine such topics as technology and its developments, the politics of Brexit, sustainability and ecology, issues of scale, ideas of conservation and preservation, cultural disparities, folklore and material production, and the practice of curating itself. Both exhibitions and texts have challenged traditional approaches to curating to strike pertinence with society, politics and other aspects of our world, to reflect upon the human condition and provide an alternative way of perceiving the world in which we inhabit. This ongoing research has been directly experienced by large audience figures worldwide (over 600,000) and has received further presentation and coverage within over 40 international publications and press coverage e.g. Vice (July 2017), ArtViewer (.org), Artsy (.net), American Alliance of Museums, Artfund, TATE Online and Mousse Magazine (November, 2015).
