I’m very happy to have been selected to lead the 2025 cycle of the Sommerakademie Paul Klee. My curatorial proposal is titled Shaping What We Owe (One Another). It interrogates the entangled dynamics of debt and the precariat as an economy that also operates within the art world(s). Debt, as a mechanism of governance, profoundly shapes agency, desire, and subjection. Meanwhile, the precariat — framed as surplus labour — remains essential to neoliberal systems, influencing not only artistic production but also the very structure of cultural labour. Together with the three guest artists — Nika Dubrovsky, Niloufar Emamifar, and Georgia Sagri — and Bern Academy of the Arts (HKB) alumna Karen Amanda Moser, we will be working on a tightly curated set of questions in Bern in August 2025. The workshop will take place from November 10 to 14.
