The Mess and the Bless: Inside the Independent Art World

About

A conversation between Benjamin Thorel (castillo/corrales, Paris) and Elena Tzotzi (Signal, Malmö) on working methods, curatorial collaboration, cultural politics and stubborn visions. Signal is a non-profit organisation founded in 1998 focusing on the production, presentation, discourse and diffusion of contemporary art and thought, run by a collective of artists and curators. Over the years, Signal has developed a central focus on exploring the possibilities of a collaborative curatorial practice and the manifold functions of an art arena. castillo/corrales is a shared office space and collectively-run gallery initiated early 2007 by a group of artists, curators, critics and writers.
