Studio visits Robbie Schweiger

On Tuesday, 27 September and Wednesday 28 September 2022, Robbie Schweiger, freelance curator and collections researcher at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, will make a series of studio visits to artists in The Hague.

He describes his areas of interest as follows:

“I am interested in the broadening of human and non-human perspectives and different systems of knowledge transfer.Themes that have occupied my attention for quite some time are the gap between the prevailing language in academia/the art world and lived experiences, biopolitics, care ethics, ecology, pseudoscience, science fiction, decentralized technological developments (including metaverses and nfts) and the combination of art and activism.”
