The new OnCurating Academy Berlin invited the directors of Perpetuum Mobile (PM) which runs Artists at Risk (AR) to talk about their curatorial practice. Marita Muukkonen and Ivor Stodolsky decided to look at PM from a bird’s-eye perspective. They call it “Frontline curating”.

The world is going to the dogs – pardon, lovely canines! – that seems to be the only thing everyone can agree on. Fault-lines are being torn open, and the resulting hatred allows the worst forms of corruption of the human spirit, mutual exploitation, and pollution of the planet. Truth is on life-support, civic space is shrinking, the climate crisis is hitting, and decency is under attack from all sides. Their greatest defenders are falling first.

How to curate in the midst of this madness?

How can curators, artists, and art institutions be active agents in countering inegalitarian, anti-democratic, authoritarian and eco-destructive forces, and stand with those on the frontlines of change?
