EXCAVATING THE VISUAL ARCHIVE: EXPLORATIONS IN ART/ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL MUSEUM

UNFIXING MUSEOLOGIES: NEW FORMS OF CURATURE IN THE ETHNOGRAPHIC ARCHIVES
This talk will present a collaborative, trans-disciplinary research project I am currently developing in and around the archives of the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg. I will discuss how new and experimental forms of 'curature' might be employed to generate encounters with collected objects that extend beyond anthropological projections of the unknown 'other,' and actuate new ways of engaging with and understanding these collections outside the colonial paradigm.

AT THE INTERSTICES

This is mirrored in how my own work as an artist and a researcher has developed: in bridging different forms of artistic expression and through my efforts to create/seek a new, comprehensive whole.
