Maiko Tanaka

Amsterdam-based curator Maiko Tanaka takes up her practice as a public, political and collective form of research enabling the production of new subjectivities and aesthetic forms. Between 2010-2012, she collaborated with Binna Choi on Casco's The Grand Domestic Revolution (GDR), a long-term "living research" residency, project exhibition, publications series and tour, based in Utrecht. Between 2008-2010, Tanaka partook in a curatorial residency at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, Toronto, where she organised the international conference exhibition, Extra-Curricular: Between Art and Pedagogy presenting alternative structures for mobilising radical pedagogical art practices. Tanaka will participate in a research residency during the Summer of 2012, in preparation for bringing The Grand Domestic Revolution to Derry in the Winter of 2013.
