BIO

A curator, artist, researcher, educator and mother, Anna Kerekes holds a PhD in Arts Studies and Practices from the University of Quebec in Montreal. She embraces research-creation as a modus operandi in all her hybrid practices.
Since 2018, upon invitation of Nicolas Bourriaud, she is a senior curator at MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain, where she develops exhibition projects, talks and publications, as well as taking part in the activities of MO.CO.’s Art School. Moreover, she is a lecturer at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Nîmes.
Her collaboration with Jonas Mekas transformed the way she associates notions of memory and daily life through artistic practices. From the Foucauldian notion of “care for oneself and the others”, she develops an ethical, artistic, and political approach.
Among the independent projects that she curated: Unweave, Unveil. Chiral Landscapes of Exile (L’Imagier, Gatineau), Taking Care (Ars Electronica, Linz), Jonas Mekas. In the Praise of the Ordinary (Phi Center, Montreal).
As an independent writer and art critic, she contributes to exhibition catalogs and magazines.
