CURATORSHIPS
Operating artist-run exhibition platforms and curating exhibitions became an extension of LAb[au]’s artistic practice, creating collaborative and theoretical contexts in which ideas, rather than disciplines, could meet through shared investigations into the histories and changing role of art in a digital society.
