Mathiu Copeland

Mathieu Copeland is a curator and lecturer. He has developed a practice that seeks to subvert the traditional role of exhibitions and renew our perception of them. Among many other initiatives, he co-curated the exhibition “VOIDS, A Retrospective” at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Kunsthalle in Bern, and edited the anthology “VOIDS.” He curated “A Choreographed Exhibition” at the Kunsthalle St. Gallen and the Ferme du Buisson, and “Soundtrack for an Exhibition” at the Musée d’Art Contemporain in Lyon. He curated and launched the series “A Spoken Word Exhibitions,” “Reprise,” and “Exhibitions to Hear Read”—three volumes to date, all of which were recently presented at the ICA in Philadelphia in February 2012. Upcoming exhibitions include Phill Niblock: A Retrospective (Fall 2012) and A Film’s Exhibition (Fall 2012), and upcoming publications include Gustav Metzger: Writings, Letters, Lectures, and Interviews 1953–2012 and Choreographing an Exhibition, published in Spring 2012.
