Curating Metabolic Infrastructures

Lecture by Clémentine Deliss

Moderation: Ruth Buchanan

Today, curators need to be sensitive to the transformative disposition of museums and produce exercises in space and time that question every aspect of this venue’s historic, ideational and civic agency. Clémentine Deliss will speak about ways of repurposing museums for multidisciplinary, performative, decolonial, and democratic models of art practice, research, and education. Case studies will include her redesign of the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt, and subsequent development of the Metabolic Museum – University at KW Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin.


This event will take place as a video conference and held in English.
