Guest Curator

Andrea Lissoni

Andrea Lissoni, PhD, is since 2020 the Artistic Director of Haus der Kunst, Munich. Formerly Senior Curator, International Art (Film) at Tate Modern, London, and curator at HangarBicocca, Milan. At Tate he launched and co-curated new exhibition formats, as the 2017 and 2018 Live Exhibition, the collection display and the live programme at the opening of the new building in 2016, and curated Philippe Parreno’s Turbine Hall Commission 2016, and survey exhibitions of artists Joan Jonas and Bruce Nauman. His research concerns liveness, cinematic aspects in time-based artworks, the perception of time and forms of transmitting, sharing and engaging in contemporary arts. He explores these through trans-disciplinary approaches to exhibition-making, focusing on artistic contexts across non-dominant cultures and subcultures, among which, music and sound in particular.
