Curator, writer and educator Maria Lind has challenged international curatorship by treating the infrastructure of the arts as a creative field. Socially committed and driven by a belief in art as well as institutional transformation, she has headed numerous institutions worldwide including the Munich Kunstverein, the graduate programme at Bard College’s Centre for Curatorial Studies and the 11th Gwangju Biennale. Most recently she has been appointed Counsellor for Cultural Affairs at the Swedish Embassy in Moscow. V–A–C satellite curator Raimundas Malašauskas talks to Maria about what brought her to this position and where she expects to find herself in the near future.
