In the current spring semester we welcome two international artists and a curator as guest lecturers. Visiting us in the Master Fine Arts are Carissa Rodriguez, Pilvi Takala and Anna Goetz, who will be curating the Master Fine Arts diploma exhibition 2023.
Carissa Rodriguez (US, born 1970) lives and works in New York City. Solo institutional exhibitions include John Young Museum of Art, Honolulu (2021), The Art Institute of Chicago (2020), Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2019), MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge (2018), SculptureCenter, New York (2018). Rodriguez participated in the Whitney Biennials of 2014 and 2019. Rodriguez is a Lecturer at Harvard University in the Department of Art, Film and Visual Studies. Her first institutional solo exhibition in Europe will open in 2023 at Kunstverein Munich, Germany.
Pilvi Takala’s (born 1981, Helsinki) video works are based on performative interventions in which she researches specific communities to process social structures and question the normative rules of our behaviour. Her works show that it is often possible to learn about the implicit rules of a social situation only by its disruption.
Anna Roberta Goetz (born in Basel, Switzerland) is a curator and writer specializing in artistic strategies that challenge governing narratives and structures in society. Over the past five years, she has been working as an independent curator between Europe and Mexico, and between 2012 and 2017, she worked at MMK Museum for Modern Art Frankfurt. Since 2022, she is working as a curator at the Museum Marta Herford.
