Lives and works in Rotterdam, Holland

Catherine David has worked since 2002 as director of the Witte de With centre for contemporary art in Rotterdam. She worked during the eighties as a curator at the National Museum of Modern Art, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. Her exhibitions since the nineties have in the most part examined art-practice in relation to contemporary socio-political issues. This approach was made highly visible by her direction of "documenta X" in 1997, and more recently in her exhibitions at the Witte de With which include the touring project Contemporary Arab Representations (2003).
