Talk with Bettina Korintenberg (Director of ifa-Galerie Stuttgart) on curatorial practice in the context of social and ecological transformation

As part of the MA Aesthetics seminar ‘Thought exhibition: curatorial studies based on Bruno Latour's exhibition practice’ (Dr Daniel Irrgang), we are very fortunate to welcome Dr Bettina Korintenberg. Bettina is a researcher and curator – as well as Leuphana alumna (‘Applied Cultural Studies’). Together with Bruno Latour, Peter Weibel and Martin Guinard, she curated the exhibition ‘Critical Zones: Horizons of a New Earth Policy’ (2020–2022) at the ZKM Karlsruhe, among other exhibition projects. Today she is the director of the ifa Gallery in Stuttgart. 

In her curatorial and academic work, Bettina critically addresses the digital and global media ecology as well as the history of ideas, and their ruptures, in a modernity shaped by “the West”. Bettina's lecture and the subsequent discussion will focus, among other things, on the research-intensive collaboration with Bruno Latour and the actors involved in the ‘Critical Zones’ project, and how this collaboration has shaped her curatorial practice.

Currently on show at the ifa Gallery Stuttgart is the exhibition ‘(Re)Born from Volcanos’, curated by Paz Guevara and Cristian Vargas Paillahueque in conversation with Bettina Korintenberg and Gabriel Rossell Santillán as part of the one-year ifa Gallery programme Agua Quemada (Burnt Water): https://www.ifa.de/kunst/ifa-galerie-stuttgart/

Registration is requested: daniel.irrgang@leuphana.de. This is an event open to the faculty. The lecture language is German.
