Personal Statement:

“The term ‘curator’ covers a variety of functions such as organiser, publicist, promoter, interpreter and author of more or less temporary and more or less fictional events. The term ‘artist’ masks art’s essential mediations and produces institutional dependency. My work as artist and as curator does not suppose that the two lie on opposite sides of institutional boundaries. My transgressions have been motivated by the desire to expand the private sphere of art production and engage with other practices, places and the public sphere.”
