My practice-based research is both an investigation into and a reflection upon the museum (also art gallery, white cube, and art space) as a space of social production, audience formation processes, and the relational systems that artworks set up in regard to the public – in accordance to the specific institutional mechanisms that frame them.


This enquiry, considering the museum as a post-representative space, seeks for ways of dropping the mechanisms of suppression that, as spectators, have been framing the responses and relations with the artworks. Through performative processes as a possible way to deconstruct learned behaviours and internalized patterns, has the aspiration to cajole agency in order for subjectivities to find out if a non-conventional response and an unconventional behaviour could lead into a re-articulation of relations between makers, objects, audiences and museums.
