Often, research-based projects in the field of curating are conducted like academic research. And when the research is accomplished, so-to-say afterwards, a presentation format is designed for the materials explored. This means, content is not generated through form itself, as – for example – in a visual or rather aesthetic practice. Further, quite often the presentation design is not even made by those who undertook the research – but by external architects or designers who are brought in later.
The resulting design then meets my understanding of formalism : it packages an idea, yet it did not co-constitute it. So, instead of designing some kind of display format for any cumulated content, my interest lies in implementing form as a tool of research from beginning, a tool which is able to actually generate content.

Biographie de Søren Grammel
Since 1999, Søren Grammel has been curating exhibitions of contemporary art at a series of institutions. The images and texts connected with these projects are thus scattered across various different websites, and in many cases are no longer available. There are also older and self-produced publications that can be found neither online nor in bookshops.
