About
Much of my work attempts to read critically through the enduring legacy of European Enlightenment and Romantic thought on “global contemporary” art and its institutions, drawing from postcolonial/decolonial studies and liberation movements.
I research the histories and theories of museums, galleries and exhibitions and I am particularly interested in artistic and para-artistic institutional models that understand themselves (even if no one else does) as prefiguring, supporting or representing radical social changes. I have found valuable resources in institutional models that might not always think of art as their main legitimating discourse, from self-organised activist spaces to community museums.
Additionally, I am interested on the cultural lives of tourism and its embroilment with forms of extraction that draw from colonial models.
I continue to collaborate frequently with art and cultural institutions and I tend to disregard the line between my practical and theoretical work.
