Talk It's All in The Footnotes: Notes on Curatorial Thoughts



Exhibition view (un)common grounds at iMAL.

Inspired by Google’s Anonymous Animals peeking into shared online documents, the Anonymous Footnoteater is a new creature under the sun. Quietly taking note of the working process, it jumps in and out of curatorial texts, exhibition maps, and calendars. As anonymousfootnoteater@gmail.com it has been peeking into e-mail correspondence between curators and artists from the comfort of the cc. The Anonymous Footnoteater adopts a non-linear writing process, creating footnotes to the curatorial process and the final exhibition. It contributes references, tells anecdotes, and asks questions. When the exhibition is finished, it might eat all the produced footnotes by sucking it up through its elongated snout.


(un)common grounds is curated by Josue Aliendre Carvani, Natalia Barczyńska and Valentina Bianchi, and featured the work of Line Boogaerts, Marijn Bril, Pierre Coric, Anna Godzina, Laurie-Anne Jaubert, Amber Meulenijzer, Vica Pacheco, Hussein Shikha, and Stijn Wybouw. The exhibition is a collaboration between Werktank, Overtoon & the Curatorial Studies program at KASK/Hogent. More information about the exhibition at imal.org
