I am a writer and curator from Barcelona, whose background includes social history and critical theory. One of my first concerns as a practitioner is to develop alternative forms of engagement with specific audiences, which should be capable of returning a sense of agency to the viewer.


My research interests revolve around debates on the so-called crisis of modernity. For my MA dissertation, ’Traces of Production‘, I have interrogated the politics of nostalgia in formalist film practice, by examining the status of photography in the London Film-Makers’ Co-op.


As a curator, I am enthusiastic about the potential for non-academic and artistic research to generate eccentric perspectives, which deviate from hegemonic ways of envisioning the present. In this sense, I see exhibition-making as a non-specialised process that involves thinking through artworks – within and against institutions – in order to articulate formal, semantic and affective relations between a variety of social practices.


I have recently explored these ideas by collaborating with the artist Erick Beltrán on a commission for Ritual Without Myth, RCA, 2012. Other projects include Notes for an Exhibition, Crate Studio and Project Space, 2011; and Lighting Rig: Intervention by Sam Ely & Lynn Harris, Department 21, 2011.
