context of the Venice Biennale</b><br>
<br>
Thursday 10 March, 18.00<br>
Translocal Institute<br>
Dembinszky utca 10 II 33<br>

<br>
Katerina Gregos will speak about her approach and her experience in
curating the Danish Pavilion in 2011 and the Belgian Pavilion in 2015.
She will elaborate on alternative curatorial strategies that challenge
the orthodoxy in the context of the national pavilions at the Venice
Biennale, as well as what constitutes the notion of 'national
representation'.<br>
<br>
Katerina Gregos (born in Athens, Greece) is an art historian, curator
and writer based in Brussels since 2006. Amongst many influential
curatorial projects and the above mentioned Venice Biennial pavilions,
she curated the 5th Thessaloniki Biennial entitled Between the
Pessimism of the Intellect and the Optimism of the Will (2015),
Newtopia: The State of Human Rights in Belgium (2012), and co-curated
Manifesta 9 (2012). Gregos currently also holds the position of
artistic director of Art Brussels. She was founding director and
curator of the Deste Foundation's Centre for Contemporary Art in
Athens (1997-2002) and was artistic director of Argos Centre for Art
and Media, Brussels (2006 & 2007). She regularly publishes
on art and artists in exhibition catalogues, journals and magazines,
and is a visiting lecturer at several art academies, including the
HISK Higher Institute of Arts in Ghent, where she also curated the
2013 laureates exhibition, Portrait of the Artist: Works and
References. She is also a frequent speaker at international
conferences and symposia. <br>
