Lind’s recent work has taken this inquiry to geographical extremes, including curating near and beyond the Arctic Circle at Kin Museum of Contemporary Art in Giron/Kiruna. Those experiences at the geographical margins will be placed in dialogue with Pushkin House’s trajectory as an independent institution rooted in local communities while addressing displacement, memory and belonging.
Since 2023, Lind has been director of Kin Museum of Contemporary Art in Giron/Kiruna. From 2020 to 2023, she served as counsellor of culture at the embassy of Sweden in Moscow. Earlier roles included director of Stockholm’s Tensta Konsthall, artistic director of the 11th Gwangju Biennale, director of the graduate program at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, director of IASPIS in Stockholm and director of Kunstverein München in Munich.
For more than three decades, Lind has developed a curatorial methodology described as art centred, process oriented and context sensitive. Her work has been associated, in a Northern and Western European context, with “new institutionalism,” and has involved reimagining art institutions in ways that resonate with current artistic practices and social processes.
The event is part of the Frame programme, which convenes curators, artists, creatives and thinkers to examine the evolving agency of art and the responsibilities of cultural workers. The talk will be followed by a moderated discussion with Pushkin House Director Elena Sudakova and an audience question-and-answer session.
