Curating Contemporary Art (MA)

About

From childhood, I have followed an intuitive approach to life, believing in a higher spiritual presence that shapes destiny. My artistic journey has led me toward experimental exhibition forms that explore the boundary between reality and illusion. My past experiences have fostered a keen interest in the commonalities between Eastern and Western philosophies, which has gradually made me adept at addressing objective issues through abstract thinking. With a background in theatrical design, I have an intuitive understanding and dedication to the visual presentation and design of exhibition spaces. The aesthetic of the spatial atmosphere is the most important consideration in my preparation for each exhibition.

When preparing an exhibition project, I consider several questions: Should a curator maintain a fixed attitude, or oscillate between various styles that might delight the audience? My answer remains uncertain; I do not seek absolute correctness or eternal benchmarks. Instead, I focus on the ephemeral, reflexive moments of the present, embracing the unexpected and unplanned outcomes.
