This is our next curator talk on the 16th of February. We met with Caroline a couple of weeks ago to talk through her ideas for this presentation and to chat about her journey from the medical world to curating shows at the Wellcome Collection. I’m hoping this is a useful approach to this organisational process.
The Queen of Hungary is delighted to present curator Caroline Fisher, a freelance curator and artist. Caroline’s career may be familiar to regional artists for her residencies at Bolwick Hall and curating at the Castle in Norwich. Most recently she co-curated the very well-received exhibition ‘High Society: mind-altering drugs in history and culture’ at the Wellcome Foundation, London.
Caroline Fisher is interested in making exhibitions which blur the boundaries between science and culture and between artistic disciplines. Her talk will encompass her switch from medicine to art, what drives her as a curator, her own artistic practise and her current project for the Wellcome on the intriguing subject of the human voice.
