Irene Aristizabal: I am a curator based in London. I have worked researching, coordinating and organising exhibitions and events in various visual arts organisations in Barcelona, London, Bogota, Paris, Dunkerque and Istanbul. In 2008 I graduated from an MA in Curating Contemporary Art of the Royal College of Art in London. My background is in Art Theory and History of Art, with an MA and a BA from Paris 8 University, where I focussed in Contemporary Art and Photography. In 2009, I curated the exhibition Interferencia, a group show at the Museum of Health Sciences in Bogota, Colombia. For this project, I commissioned and invited 9 artists to show new and existing works in different media. I then spent eight months working as a gallery director for Worlds end Contemporary, a temporary gallery space in Chelsea specialising in contemporary photography. While studying my MA in London, I worked with the Arts and Ecology project, at the RSA. Prior to moving to London, I coordinated and co-directed Bétonsalon, a not-for-profit gallery space in Paris.
