Our aim is to establish a practice of exhibition making that occupies the more-than: The more-than curatorial arrangement, the more-than curatorial as authoritative or authorial, and the more-than of hierarchical systems of knowledge which know themselves in advance. We propose curatorial research-creation to be a practice of attunement, where we continually question what a work is doing in its emergence, as it labours to establish value. What contexts build works? How does the work build contexts?
Treva Michelle Legassie is a curator, educator and artist whose practice traverses process-led, creative and exploratory techniques (such as walking and drawing) to unsettle Land-based exhibition making. Working in indeterminate landscapes, she explores the rehabilitative potentials of art-making for sites literally and metaphorically at the margins. Legassie holds a PhD in Communication Studies. Matthew-Robin Nye is an artist and PhD candidate in the Interdisciplinary Humanities, whose current practice explores how the edging of experience - the “artful” - is linked to the creative force of desire. He aims to diagram events that speculatively-pragmatically propose alter-value, in examples that range from the quotidian to the performative, carrying the potential to produce molecular alter-socialities: a fulsome experience of ‘life’ at the edges of experience. Karen Wong, an independent curator and design researcher, has a long-standing interest in the structure of space itself, and is motivated by investigations of spatial vocabularies with emphasis on landscape, public spaces, and (re)generative frameworks.
