Sukanya Deb
Art critic and curator
During the residency period at La Napoule Foundation, I intend on carrying out research, conversations, and programmes around art writing and exhibition texts, particularly looking at experimental ways to express or examine curatorial logic and expression. I intend on researching the text form through exhibition histories, to include other literatures, from regional literatures, to minor literatures, even to poetry and other textual interfaces. Besides extending my research on text as interface, I seek to organise working groups within the residency.
