The Space Between Us

Abstract

[EN] This article investigates how to integrate the collaborative creation of contemporary art exhibitions, and how to transform exhibition works into contemporary language and novel visual art materials, thereby generating cultural exchange between Australia and Spain. The Space Between Us (2017), co-initiated by Australia-based curator Wilson Yeung and Spanish artist Estefanía Salas Llopis, resolves these questions by examining the contemporary art exhibition. This research project explores how artists and curators participate in the collaboration of contemporary art exhibitions, how the relationship between curators and artists changes during the collaboration, and what potential collaborative curatorial practices have in creating successful artworks and exhibitions.
