Anne Dressen

Anne Dressen is a curator at ARC, the contemporary department of the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (MAMVP). Her curatorial projects investigate unofficial or peripheral artistic practices, particularly around sound and video, copy and reproduction, crafts and the decorative arts, the pornographic and the proto-queer. All of her projects explore problematics embedded in cultural, colonial, and gender studies, rejecting binary and linear views and readings. She has taught contemporary art and video art history at ECAL (Ecole Cantonale des Beaux Arts de Lausanne, Switzerland) since 2011, and taught contemporary art history at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, in 2016. She is currently preparing Medusa, an exhibition focused on jewelry. Photo: Danh Vo
