Footnotes within the exhibition ‘(un)common grounds’ at iMAL. Brussels, BE, 14—29.05.2022.

Talk It’s All in the Footnotes: Notes on Curatorial Thoughts’.





Inspired by Google’s anonymous animals that peek into shared online documents, the Anonymous Footnoteater is a new creature under the sun. Quietly observing the working process, it jumps in and out of curatorial texts, exhibition maps, and calendars. As Anonymous Footnoteater, it has been peeking into email exchanges between curators and artists from the comfort of the CC.

The Anonymous Footnoteater follows a non-linear writing process, creating footnotes to both the curatorial trajectory and the final exhibition. It contributes references, tells anecdotes, and poses questions. Once the exhibition is over, it may consume all its own footnotes—sucking them up through its elongated snout.

‘(un)common grounds’ was curated by Josue Aliendre Carvani, Natalia Barczyńska, and Valentina Bianchi, and featured works by Line Boogaerts, Marijn Bril, Pierre Coric, Anna Godzina, Laurie-Anne Jaubert, Amber Meulenijzer, Vica Pacheco, Hussein Shikha, and Stijn Wybouw. The exhibition was a collaboration between Werktank, Overtoon, and the Curatorial Studies program at KASK / HoGent.
