What happens behind the scenes at one of London’s most innovative art spaces? 

With her Fellowship concluding this autumn, follow Rachel Be-Yun Wang as she walks us through the defining chapters of her time as our 2023 Curatorial Research Fellow at Chisenhale Gallery. 

Over the past two years, Rachel has contributed to developing exhibitions, publications, and public programme surrounding commissions of Alia Farid, Lotus L. Kang, Joshua Leon, Benoît Piéron, and Rory Pilgrim at Chisenhale Gallery. Most recently, she curated '

' as a showcase of her research outcome with artist Lee Tzu Tung, featuring a public programme, a vitrine presentation, and monthly screenings in our space.

Spanning on-site research and interviews with curators and conservators across multiple European institutions, Rachel is currently researching the documentation practices within commissioning, looking to understand how—and what—we document in the active processes of commissioning and producing new artistic work, while interrogating how we produce and enact artistic labour with historicity and posterity in mind. The outcome will be a publication that will serve as an industry-shared resource made publically available. An associated launch will take place at Chisenhale Gallery in October 2024, with further details to be announced soon.
