Lisa Tan, Pictures of You (2017) installed at Pontusbadet in Luleå as part of the exhibition
Extracts from a Future History curated by Lisa Rosendahl for Public Art Agency Sweden.
“My talk will focus on two curatorial projects: Extracts from a Future History (curated for Public Art Agency Sweden in Luleå in 2017) and The Ghost Ship and the Sea Change (the 11th edition of Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art, forthcoming in 2021). Using these as case studies, I will discuss the exhibition as a site for situated knowledge production and historiography, as well as reflect on curatorial methodology. The title of the talk refers to my ongoing enquiry into the question of curatorial agency and how to understand subjective and embodied acts of narration beyond the frame of individual authorship”.
