Profile bio

About Marialaura Ghidini

I am a curator & researcher whose work explores the intersections between art, technology and society.Interested in working with various exhibition formats outside the gallery, I founded the online curatorial platform or-bits.com (2009-2015) and curated projects online, on a river canal, on mobile phones, on the radio and in print, such as ‘#exstrange’ (2017) on eBay; ‘Disturbing the Balance’ (2022) on an app; ‘Silicon Plateau’ (2015-) in print; ‘The C(h)roma Show’ (2014) in an electronics shop in Bangalore, India. I have researched the field of curating on the web and digital curation since my PhD (2015), contributing to publications, conferences, and graduate and post-graduate courses and programmes. Recently, I published the archive project ‘curating.online’ (2021-) in collaboration with the Exhibition Research Lab at Liverpool John Moores University, UK, and sponsored by the Italian Council, and ‘The Broken Timeline’ (2022). I have substantial experience as an artistic director, project manager and curator for arts and cultural programmes and exhibitions in the public, private and not for profit sector internationally; in research, development and management of partnerships and sponsors; in working with diverse teams; and in delivering arts and cultural projects in formal and informal contexts, and educational environments. I collaborated a range of institutions, from start-ups and research centres, to local governments, art galleries and artist-run spaces.Currently, I work as independent curatorial consultant & researcher, also under the moniker ://ftp - file transfer protocols.

Listed skills include Curating, Art Exhibitions, Art, Contemporary Art, and 15 others.
