Artistic Director
Ronald Kolb is a curator, researcher, and lecturer based in Stuttgart and Zurich. He co-directed the Postgraduate Program in Curating at the Zurich University of the Arts and is one of the editors-in-chief of the journal OnCurating.
A defining feature of his practice is the orchestration of exhibitions and teaching events as an exercise in participating in contexts of situated knowledge, for example in the international symposia and workshops he has (co-)organized, such as Learning for Life for the Merz Akademie Stuttgart (2018), Situated Knowledges - Art and Curating on the Move, a digital event with Tai Kwun Contemporary, HK and the Migros Museum (2021), the summer school Commoning Curatorial and Artistic Education in the context of documenta fifteen (2022), the workshop Commoning Collective Care in collaboration with TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (2023) and the experimental study trip Post-/Exhibitionary Practices: Art and Curating in Expanded Ecological Thought with local art practitioners in Córdoba, Spain (2024).
