Draft:Inez Piso

Inez Piso (Inez Piso-Tuncay), born in 1988, is a Dutch curator and researcher in contemporary art and art history.[1] She holds a bachelor's degree in Art History from the University of Amsterdam and a Master’s from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.[2] She currently works for Stedelijk Museum Schiedam as a curator and holds a grant from the Mondriaan Fund for a research project about the undiscerned silence in Istanbul.[3][4] She is also the artist-in-residence and exhibition space director at Hotel Maria Kapel.[5][6] Her projects often unfold around invisible structures that have tangible consequences. She proposed that "the silence begins where the language finds its border" and investigated the many ways of listening to the silence in the dance to see what alternatives dance can bring when silence falls on our lips.[7]

Curatorial projects

[edit]
  • The Travelling Artwork (2010): The project focuses on the consequences of a selected series of countries in a process of increasingly open borders, where the confrontation with different cultures exists in themselves, while on the other hand, the possibility to leave the country and sniff out these other cultures in their territory is left openly possible.[8]
  • Living with Ghosts (2016): The exhibition explores the question of the daily objects we surround ourselves with and which surround us. We live with them, but do they live with us?[9]
  • Breathing Space (2016): The performative project deals with the diminishing space between people when they gather in masses and the air in between two individuals that connects them.[10]
  • De Schaduw van de Haan (2017): A solo exhibition project for the artist Vibeke Mascini in the adjacent marketplace under the shadows of the Great Bavo church in Haarlem, built around 1517. The shadows made the marketplace into a solar clock, and the artist engraved a brick within a straight line just a few meters away from the vitrine.[11][12]
  • Amsterdam Ferry Festival (2019-2024): Effective and inspiring art, performances and photography on the ferries of Amsterdam, where the curatorial team sees the ferry as a public canvas they donate to the artists.[13]
  • Maria Roosen – Solo (2025)[14]
