[Re]Curated

The National Gallery, London, is using digital innovation to rethink how its collection is seen and experienced. For Ars Electronica 2025, the Gallery will present two exhibition recreations from its film series [Re]curated—a project that virtually reconstructs The Artist’s Eye, a radical series of exhibitions from the 1970s to the 1990s, where artists curated their own shows.
Daniel Herrmann, Ardalan Curator of Modern & Contemporary Projects at the Gallery, will demonstrate two exhibition recreations, one by David Hockey’s exhibition in 1981 and another by Richard Hamilton from his exhibition of 1978, and discuss how using new digital tools can help understand how space, technology, and artistic vision combine to create new meaning.
