DISPLAYCING PRACTICES - FROM SPACE TO SPATIALITY IN EXHIBITING - a new essay by Doreen Mende published in the project 'Museum Off Museum' by the Kunstverein Bielefeld.
DOREEN MENDE
*1977 in East Germany, lives and works in Berlin.
Doreen Mende works internationally as an exhibition-maker, curator, writer and theorist based in Berlin. Her attendance at Documenta11's education programme, with its exhibition in Kassel in 2002, profoundly transformed her overall stance towards art, performance, politics, and economics along the lines of anti-colonial thinking. She has just completed her practice-based PhD in Curatorial/Knowledge at Goldsmiths College, London, while acting as a faculty member of the Dutch Art Institute (DAI) since 2010. Informed by her research, her six-part essay »The Itinerant: When Exhibiting Turns Its Back Against On? Itself« for Manifesta Journal online addresses a series of concerns around geopolitics in exhibiting. She is co-founder of the publication series »DISPLAYER«, and the project space, General Public.
