Anne Schreiber

Anne Schreiber is a scholar of Literature, Philosophy, and Economics at Humboldt University in Berlin. Her curatorial practice explores the intersections between the theory and history of exhibition-making, new media, and art and ecology. At Humboldt University, she began curating exhibitions on net art and digital culture. At de Appel Arts Centre in Amsterdam, she assisted in the development of curatorial projects focusing on public space and the conditions of artistic production and display within postmodern and postcolonial contexts. As assistant to the director of Kunstverein Freiburg, she curated an exhibition on artists’ books, organized a lecture series on art as a research practice, and developed workshops addressing the role of independent and institutional art spaces in contemporary cultural production. As Curatorial Assistant at Kunsthaus Dresden, she co-developed a series of exhibitions and discursive formats concerned with the epistemological and spatial conditions of exhibiting. She further conceived a project for the city of Freiburg investigating art discourse as an aesthetic and institutional form. Her writing has appeared in publications including Artnet Magazine, Berliner Gazette, Der Tagesspiegel, De:Bug, Telepolis, and artline. More recently, her research and curatorial interests have shifted toward the ecological and infrastructural dimensions of artistic production. In this context, she participated in the research seminar accompanying the exhibition "Critical Zones" at ZKM, Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. on the emergence of systems thinking, as a prehistory to James Lovelock, cybernetics, and contemporary techno-economic paradigms.
