The Curatorial Lab
was an online series of exhibitions introducing artists working with ideas, or in various media that resonated with my practice. It was a way in which I was able to foment collaboration and engagement with artists I admired and introduce them to my audience. The Curatorial Lab is no longer and will not be reinstated; however, you may still access the exhibitions via the links below. Please enjoy.
