Curating the Unfinished

In Curating the Unfinished, curators Dzekashu MacViban and Kenan Khadaj reflect on their collaborative practice through three projects: Surreal Continuum: Revisiting, Remapping, Reimagining Surrealism at HKW, Middle Ground at HKW, and Those Who Move Through Matter at Bardo Projektraum.

Taking the unfinished as a point of departure, the talk explores how curatorial projects can remain open when no single format can contain all the questions they raise. Across their practice, historical narratives are revisited and reimagined while literature, oralture, visual art, and performance are brought into conversation. MacViban and Khadaj consider how collaboration allows projects to change direction, unexpected relationships to emerge, and multiple interpretations to remain possible.
