‘The writer-curator’

For several decades, the number of exhibitions curated by authors has steadily increased. What are the historic and cultural milestones that have enabled the proliferation of this practice? Do the exhibitions created by writers differ from those curated by artists? Are they systematically related to the writer’s work or do they reveal other aspects of his or her writing practice? The RIMELL day (Interdisciplinary Research in Museology and the Exhibition of Literature and Books) will address these and other questions.
The programme includes several conference-discussions (see the programme below), enabling you to explore a practice that is rich, yet not very well known.
