معرفی
Magdalena Holdar is an Associate Professor at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics, Stockholm University. Her work bridges Art History, Curating, and Network Theory, focusing on the intersection of materiality, performativity, and transnational collaborative practices.
Educational background includes a 2005 doctorate from Stockholm University, where her dissertation Scenography in Action: Space, Time, and Movement in Theatre Productions by Ingmar Bergman laid the foundation for her interest in ephemeral art forms and interdisciplinary research.
Her research interests revolve around:
- Collaboration in art, particularly within the Fluxus network
- Wetland methodology as a metaphor for material agency and micro-level creativity
- Curatorial theory and its role in reshaping academic pedagogy
- Administrative practices as resources for transdisciplinary research
- 20th and 21st-century curatorial practices
Teaching has been a core part of her career since 2005, including co-designing object-based learning models with Professor Anna Bortolozzi. She leads the International MA Program in Curating Art and explores the creative potential of bureaucracy through projects like Between Studio and Classroom: Exploring Academic Creativity Through Curatorial Thinking (2025).
Publications and projects highlight her focus on performative art, collaborative strategies, and institutional critique, particularly in exhibitions like Harald Szeemann’s Happening & Fluxus (1970) and her monograph Fluxus as a Network of Friends, Strangers, and Things: The Agency of Chance Operations (2022).
