See https://marialaura-ghidini.hotglue.me/° I like to think of exhibitions as ways of telling stories that exist across spaces and amongst people — I have curated them online, in gallery spaces, on a river canal, on mobile phones, on the radio and in print, and I have worked with artists, writers, designers, musicians and anthropologists. I am keen on creating platforms for discussion and sharing; an interest that led to the creation of the curatorial platform or-bits.com (2009-2015), the projects #exstrange (2017) and UnProductive Solutions (2023) with artist Rebekah Modrak, and the publishing series Silicon Plateau (2015-) with artist Tara Kelton.For a list of curated projects > https://marialaura-ghidini.hotglue.me/exhibit ° I have researched the field of curating on the web, and its relationship with the development of internet technology, by contributing to edited books and journals and publishing online archives. Such as the project curating.online (online, 2021-) with the support of the Italian Council - 9th Edition (IT) and the Exhibition Research Lab at Liverpool John Moores University (UK), and the archive The Broken Timeline (Valiz, 2022) conceived with Annet Dekker and Gaia Tedone.For a list of writings > https://marialaura-ghidini.hotglue.me/wordsFor a list of talks > https://marialaura-ghidini.hotglue.me/talks

Web

Not-for-profit art gallery.Between 2009 and 2015, or-bits.com commissioned over 100 artworks and writing by artists, curators and researchers. Its activity was distributed. From the web page the artworks travelled to inhabit other spaces and formats, from the gallery exhibition to the radio broadcast to the book. This is because or-bits.com wanted to encourage different ways of presenting and experiencing artistic content that was native to the web.

My research is in the field of curatorial studies and exhibition history in relation to digital culture and web technology. My specific interest lies in the history of online curatorial practices and exhibition models that have emerged in response to and as a consequence of the evolution of the web into a mass media tool of communication. The title of my practice-based PhD is Curating Web-based Art Exhibitions: Mapping their Migration and Integration with Offline Formats of Production.
