Shana Moulton, No one lives here Exhibition
My interest as a curator lies in live art and event-based curatorial projects. This derives from my aim to engage diverse audiences, to create a platform for discussion, and to combine theory and practice. Above all, I am concerned with experimenting with the exhibition format and enabling and encouraging audiences to experience art actively and dynamically.
I see the vital role of a curator as creating open-ended discussions about contemporary exhibitions, particularly in the format of public programmes and as a significant mediator between art and its diverse publics.
Recent research explored whether live art could be considered a ‘medium’ or an interdisciplinary work through the lens of Rosalind Krauss’ theoretical discourse and two case studies, Mark Leckey’s Mark Leckey in the Long Tail 2009 and Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller’s Alter Bahnhof Video Walk 2012, dOCUMENTA (13).
My previous professional experience combined work as an assistant curator in modern and contemporary art museums and as an independent curator. Recent independent event-based projects have focused on the intersection of the moving image (film and video art), performance art and education.
