Kantuta Quirós

Curator, art theorist, filmmaker

Curators, art theorists, filmmakers, Kantuta Quirós & Aliocha Imhoff are the founders of the curatorial platform le peuple qui manque, created in 2005 which works between art and research. For several years they have been conducting a research project aimed at a new ecology of knowledge based on scenographies of contemporary thought (diplomatic fictions, fictitious trials, assemblies and thought experiments on a 1:1 scale). Their latest curatorial projects include Atlas of Bifurcations (Diep Haven 2021); And What Do They Ask? To become something there (Lyon Biennale, 2019); The Trial of Fiction (Nuit Blanche, 2017); A Migrant Constituent (Centre Pompidou, 2017, symposium-performance). They have published Les potentiels du temps (Manuella Editions, 2016, with C. de Toledo) and edited Geoesthetics (Editions B42, 2014) and  , Revue Multitudes 53-54 (2014). Recipients in 2021 of the Fluxus Arts Project, they are the artistic directors of the cross-Channel festival of contemporary creation and ideas Diep Haven (FR/UK).  Members of the editorial board of the journal Multitudes, they have been residents of the Rebuild Foundation (Chicago South Side, 2015) and the Ateliers Médicis (2018). They are currently presenting a monographic exhibition at the Royan Art Center. Kantuta Quirós teaches art theory at the Ecole Européenne Supérieure d’Art de Bretagne (Rennes site).
