Abstract:
This lecture will highlight two exhibitions from the Sigg Collection: Inner Worlds and Sigg Prize 2025 in M+ to discuss different approaches in museum curating. As an exhibition is not merely a display of art, but also a site for imagination, experimentation and knowledge production, the speaker will further share the development of the curatorial framework and demonstrate how curatorial practices can be seen as a medium for artistic exploration.
