Title of Dissertation: Distancing Effects of the Digital: Verticality in the Work of Jananne Al-Ani, Hito Steyerl and Harun Farocki
I am a curator whose current research is concerned with a shift in visuality from a linear to an aerial perspective aided by electronic and lens-based media, with an emphasis on how this shift in representation is affecting contemporary artistic practice. As a result of this research, I am interested in exhibition making within an institutional framework as a site for experimentation and investigation of time-based and non-object based practices.
Prior to my studies I co-founded the curatorial collective FSP (2008 -). As part of their small team I co-curated For Inclusion in the Syllabi, Pigeon Wing Gallery (2011); Are You Experienced (?), [SPACE] (2010) and The Object of the Attack, The David Roberts Art Foundation (2009). All projects gravitated towards questions of self-organisation and sub-cultural structures as a form of resistance with a strong emphasis on artistic and curatorial collaboration. I was employed as curator at Jotta (2009 to 2012), an art and design organisation founded within the University of the Arts London. There I facilitated a diverse range of curatorial projects that recognised Jotta’s aim to work with recently graduated artists.
