How does time affect exhibition making - for artists, curators and visitors? Kristine Siegel joins the Young Curators Residents to talk on temporalities in art spaces.

Kristine Siegel is a curator, initially of contemporary art, lately of sexual health and reproductive justice. Her work across different fields explores the transformative potential of getting together and thinking collectively, experimenting with presentational strategies and performative modes, and straight up stealing and smuggling tools and designs for amateur inventions. Truth be told, her practice seems primarily concerned with the hunt for good, surprising conversations followed by a schnapps of direct action, and she is curiously often the least knowledgeable in the room. She co-founded and ran the institution PRAXES Center for Contemporary Art in Berlin and co-curated the triennale Bergen Assembly 2016, co-raises a whole lot of children, co-organizes sex education reform through Planned Parenthood in New York and Sex & Samfund in Copenhagen, and runs an oral history archive of American teens talking about sex called The Talk Talks. Her latest para-endeavor is becoming a birthing activist.

This event takes place alongside Residency 19 - Young Curators Residency, which is developed by PRAKSIS, Nitja Centre for Contemporary Art and artist Stine Marie Jacobsen to mentor six people aged between 19-23 towards realising an ambitious Spring 2022 exhibition in Nitja’s space. The participants are Haawa Abdi, Sarah Mreihil, Henrik Stiansen, Vera Moi, Fatima Hadouchi, and Emanuel Waal.
