Chus Martínez Discusses the Overvaluation of Art Institutions

In this installment of The Checklist, Artforum interviews Chus Martínez, who serves as the Director of Institute Art Gender Nature FHNW. The conversation delves into her unique approach to curating.

Martínez articulates her views on art institutions, suggesting that they may be given more importance than they inherently deserve. Her insights challenge the conventional understanding of the role these establishments play in the art world.

Drawing from her experiences at prominent organizations like TBA21, Martínez provides a critical perspective on how art institutions can evolve to better serve artists and audiences alike.

Her tenure at Institute Art Gender Nature FHNW has allowed her to implement innovative strategies that emphasize the intersection of art, gender, and nature. These strategies aim to foster a more inclusive and dynamic art ecosystem.

The discussion with Martínez offers a thought-provoking look at the potential for art institutions to rethink their traditional frameworks and adapt to contemporary cultural shifts.
