Paola Paleari ^(IT)

Paola Paleari holds a Master’s degree in Design from Politecnico di Milano, followed by a Masterclass in Contemporary Photography at CSF Ansel Adams and a Masterclass in Cultural Heritage & Services Management at Il Sole24Ore Business School. In 2019, she was among Politikens Kunstkritikerskole’s selected participants.

She is a Member of Udvalg for Nye Perpektiver at Akademiraadet, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In 2021 and 2022 she curated the contemporary art program at Vestjyllands Kunstpavillon, and since 2019 she has been a guest lecturer in Photography at DIS Danish International School. She has been running the exhibition platform JIR SANDEL since 2018 and was deputy editor of the Swiss publication YET Magazine from 2013 to 2018.

Paleari is concerned with the intersection between critical and creative writing and often interweave art criticism with other forms of storytelling. She believes that curating is a practice that goes beyond making exhibitions and creates new creative methods to generate, convey and reflect knowledge in a transdisciplinary and transcultural context. As a freelance curator, she has an ongoing “self-educational agenda” that aims towards a more exhaustive definition of her profession and a clearer determination of its needs and actions.

Paola Paleari has written Art Hub’s newsletter #4.
