Curatorial statement

Curatorial statement
My curatorial research explores art forms such as site specific art, installation and sculpture, often in conjuncture with the digital. I am particularly interested in developing interdisciplinary statements that relate to contemporary ideas in the fields of architecture, anthropology, urbanism, and cultural studies. Recent projects have examined urban environments in relation to the social and historical fabric of cities. Additionally, I study sound as an independent rather than supplementary medium, and I am particularly interested in work that deploys sound as a vector of social and politic values. The acoustics of the space and the context of exhibition are central in my sound curation, and I try to challenge conventional modes of presentation.
