Projects

For over ten years, I have been designing, planning, and realizing projects in a wide variety of settings and contexts: from museums and off-spaces to temporary cultural uses and public spaces. A selection of these projects can be found here. Most of my work consists of exhibitions featuring contemporary artists. In addition, there are also collaborations with musicians, writers, philosophers and many other disciplines in the accompanying program.

Archiving Future · Kuratorischer Workshop mit Jugendlichen im Folkwang Schüler:innenlabor

Archiving Future ist ein Projekt der Ruhrtriennale in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Folkwang Schüler:innenlabor der Künste. 15 Jugendliche aus dem Ruhrgebiet erarbeiten mit Hilfe von Expert:innen und Studierenden der Folkwang Universität der Künste ihr eigenes Ausstellungsprojekt. In meinem Workshop habe ich meine kuratorische Expertise mit ihnen geteilt und ihren Entwürfen den letzten Feinschliff verpasst, bevor die Ausstellung Anfang September eröffnet wird.

Orbit X – XII

ORBIT geht in die zweite Sommeredition! In diesem Semester treffen Arbeiten der Absolvent*innen Claudius Dorner, Mercedes Theresia Wagner Romero und Lucy J. Rogers auf die von Fotostudent*innen Max F. Borchardt, Anna Kebe und Paula Rieker.

Orbit VII–IX
In the winter of 2025/2026, works by Julia Jaksch, Ludwig Kuffer, Max Beck and Saskia Fischer were shown alongside those of students from the Folkwang University of the Arts in three exhibitions. All of the exhibitions shown here took place at the Orbit off space on the grounds of UNESCO World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein.
Orbit IV–VI
The artistic tandems continued in the summer of 2025: in the former Schalthaus 2.0 building on the grounds of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein, Shaft XII, former photography students from the Folkwang University of the Arts once again presented their work together with current students. Three exhibitions offered thematically and visually diverse perspectives, with the space being used, transformed, or even reworked in a specific way for each exhibition.

The summer exhibitions were preceded by two application phases. First, an open call was published, inviting photography graduates to apply for the exhibition format. After the jury selected three artists, photography students could then apply, and the artistic tandems were formed.
Orbit I–III
The former switchgear building 2.0 on the grounds of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein, Shaft XII, will be used as an experimental space for exhibitions, events, and meetings of the Design Department of the Folkwang University of the Arts starting in the winter semester of 2024/2025. Former photography students of the Folkwang University of the Arts will present their artistic positions in dialogue with current student work.

“Every situation is fluid, every moment and every viewer. Space is the origin. It exists before the work itself, before the viewer. Art lives from the place, the everyday, time.” — Yoana Tuzharova, 2022
