The Curatorial Research group meets regularly to discuss curating contemporary art as research process and as a form of knowledge production. This new partnership with Bildmuseet is chaired by curator Anca Rujoiu who is currently undertaking doctoral research in the Curatorial Program at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. The group brings together curators and curatorial researchers focusing on critical frameworks for curatorial practice, new curatorial methodologies, and situating curatorial knowledge in the international field.
