Curating is all about telling stories. As a curator I love creating visual narratives by connecting art items in a specific space, relating them to its history and architecture. I am interested in process-oriented projects where the role of the curator and the artist merge and bring into play a new dimension of collaboration, based on exchange, complicity and trust. My focus is on post-minimalist artists who work site-specific and use materials resulting from industry and other kinds of human intervention. Furthermore I am interested in conceptual artists, working on the borderline between art and science, as well as those who use nature as creative matter and scenario for their creations.

Curating is not only about having a good idea for an exhibition and selecting the artist or art works for it. It is a long process which includes researching, planning, organising, looking for sponsors, etc. Here you can find a list of what I learned on my way to becoming a curator:

​

• Conceiving and writing a concept for the exhibition

• Selecting artists and finding exhibition places

• Leading a team of collaborators (staff management and recruitment)

• Collaborating with artists, galleries, foundations and cultural institutions

• Carrying out research and writing catalogue texts

• Organising transport and arranging insurances

• Supervising the set-up and dismounting of exhibitions

• PR and press work (informing the media, writing press releases, press clips...)

• Creating and supervising websites and planning social media activities

• Marketing and advertising in specialized media (art magazines)

• Coordinating video and photographic documentation

• Budget planning, forecasting and reporting

• Fundraising and marketing
