Augustina Matuseviciute

I am a freelance curator with the background in working in project spaces in Lithuania. The aim of my practice was to expand the national representation of artists into an international discourse by placing juxtapositions and discussions of artists’ works through exhibitions and publications.

Since I started the Curating Contemporary Art programme at the RCA, my interests have shifted towards the digital realm and the presentation of digital art and design within institutional contexts, which was explored in collaboration with my peers in our interim project Public Access.

My interest has taken me to analyse the contemporary interactions of historical Conceptual art of the 1960s with the contemporary notion of the expanded public space and the role of curatorial practice within this discourse, which further contributed to our final show No one lives here.

I am also interested in the way art works and art practices are presented within the context of the art market and the role of capitalism and the art market in shaping emerging art practices. Dispersion and remediation of images is one of my main current strands of research.
