Research interests: Artistic research/ Curatorial practice/ Museum-graphy/ Museum-logy
Objectives:
The group is articulated through the shared need to think in common the spaces and methods of knowledge generation around the arts and, specifically, curatorial practices and the exhibition devices they produce. The group's research is committed to the generation of relational and situated knowledge and to a multidirectional transfer, which operates from the exploration of collective research practices.
