Sandra Teitge
Sandra Teitge is a curator and cultural producer from East Berlin. She organizes exhibitions and programs at the intersection of contemporary art, music, architecture and design, focusing on feminist, class-critical, and other minority practices and narratives. As co-curator of the feminist platform “gossip gossip gossip” and of the bi-annual public art festival “Art in the Underground”, Sandra’s work critically examines and challenges the status quo across past, present, and future contexts.
Her recent curatorial projects include the Ruckhaberle Award 2024, the Art Prize Neukölln 2024, the Gallery Weekend Festival 2023, and the pilot year (2021/22) at CCA Berlin – Center for Contemporary Arts. She is also a member of a curatorial research group dedicated to the visual art archive (ZfK) of the GDR/East Germany. From 2018 to 2019, Sandra served as director of the Goethe Pop Up Minneapolis “Goethe in the Skyways”. In 2014, she founded the FD13 residency program in Saint Paul, Minneapolis, U.S. which now operates independently of her.
RAD Curatorial introduced me to the exceptional city of Bucharest, a place I had always wanted to visit. Thanks to the stellar organization of the program, our group had the opportunity to meet a variety of Bucharest-based artists, gallerists, and cultural initiatives located across different buildings and neighborhoods of the city.
I am especially excited to follow up on an invitation from Georg Elben, a fellow RAD Curatorial 2024 participant, to give a lecture in Marl next month on East German artistic practices in the 1990s. This is a topic I presented to the group in Bucharest and one I continue to enthusiastically research following this inspiring experience. Sandra Teitge - RAD Curatorial 2024
