Anders Kreuger

”Curating is about working with, for and through others“ – Kreuger reflects in his lecture on his work as a curator. He will talk about his fifteen years’ working practice and explain the meaning of: thinking together with people who are different from yourself, and thinking together things that are different from each other. According to Kreuger, curating is about the possible dialectic coming together of different modes of thinking and doing, speculating and organising, seeing and reading.

He will show and discuss two independent projects – featuring artists from Lithuania – which come up with different answers to what “visual thinking” and “politically-engaged art” might be. In this context he will also talk about “the city”, but indirectly: the small town as an environment where potentially harmful provincialism is cultivated, and the railway station as an environment where young women’s lives are consumed by prostitution and drug abuse.

On the basis of these two challenging works, Kreuger will explain his phrase: “to show what cannot be shown”.
