Research interests

I am an industrial designer with a great interest in museums and world art studies. As an academic researcher, I merge contemporary art, modern art and traditional crafts. This means that I combine inputs from diverse disciplines such as art history, ethnography and anthropology. I work in diverse environments, from museums and universities in the West, to urban centres and traditional villages in Asia, mainly in Southeast Asia. I regularly visit exhibitions to evaluate curatorial practices, but I also visit artists in their studios, which results in framing their practices in novel ways.
