Curatorial Statement
Part of the Nomadic Curatorial Collective:
Using adaptive curatorial models, we present performance in site-specific contexts while explicitly investigating curation, documentation and collaboration. We strive to critically engage with conceptual performance issues alongside practical curatorial strategies.
Our backgrounds as artists and scholars deeply informs our design and mandate. We strive to transparently investigate the practice of performance curation.
