Aaron Moulton

Having curated over one hundred exhibitions across Europe and North America, Aaron Moulton is a curator and anthropologist whose research looks at the ways in which creative expression is purposed and managed by new age communities, the global artworld and propaganda initiatives.

His recent research study was an exhibition and publication entitled The Influencing Machine (2022) which charted the impact of the NGO Movement on the visual cultures of Eastern Europe from the 90s to present day. This groundbreaking story is an untold origin story about socially engaged practice, curatorial practice and tactical media. It shows compelling data about art’s role in social engineering and how artists were coercively influenced to become political activists. In Bucharest he has made the occult exhibitions Omul Negru (2016) and The Hierophant (2017) as part of the trilogy ritual known as the Trito Ursitori. He is the curator of the exhibition "Man-made Horrors Beyond Comprehension", which celebrates conspiracy theory as the most important storytelling genre of our paradigm. Currently on view at Pharmakon Gallery in Bucharest until April 26.
