Synopsis
In this inaugural Per°Form CoThink Lab digital lecture, Shubigi Rao discusses her practice as a writer, artist, and artist-curator for the 5th edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2021, and the overlaps and tensions between them. Shubigi discusses the connections between on-site artistic production and her work as an artist-curator, as well as the ways in which artistic strategies inform curatorial research. Drawing from her curatorial experiences in a pandemic-affected world, she examines the position of artist-curator within a potentially fraught biennale-model, and the forms of knowledge generation that could potentially be sustained through such curatorial research and practice.
