When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose (You’re invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal)
18:30 hours
Next Friday, 22 November, at 6:30 p.m., we will welcome curator Mathieu Copeland to the Il Posto Research and Documentation Centre, who will give a lecture entitled ‘When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose (You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal)’.
In this talk, Copeland will focus in particular on his curatorial and editorial projects related to empty exhibitions and closed exhibitions. The event is part of the curator’s visit to Chile, made possible thanks to an invitation from the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of Santiago de Chile.
Mathieu Copeland is a curator, researcher and editor whose practice seeks to subvert the traditional role of exhibitions and renew our perceptions of them. His projects include ‘A Choreographed Exhibition’ (Kunsthalle, St Gallen (2007)), ‘VOIDS. A Retrospective’ (Centre Pompidou, Paris and Kunsthalle, Bern (2009)) and A Retrospective of Closed Exhibitions (Kunsthalle, Fribourg (2016)), series such as A Spoken Word Exhibitions, Reprise and Exhibitions to Hear Read, and the film The Exhibition of a Film (2015). He has published more than twenty catalogues and books and is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Leeds School of Art.
