Abstract
This article explores the notion of “curatorial research” within the realm of the live arts through the case study of the perfor mance exhibition Klimata (2019) curated by Léna Szirmay-Kalos, Dániel Kovács, and Jasna Layes Vinovršky, at the Berliner Flutgraben. In the article, I accentuate the transdisciplinarity of the project, which constitutes a paradigmatic example of curatorial research in exhibition settings. I argue that the project underscores the transformative potential of integrating the live arts with time-based media, or installation art, while foregrounding the embodied knowledge of the vulnerable body. Additionally, these forms are combined with non-art/scientific forms, enriching the transdisciplinary dialogue and expanding the boundaries of curatorial knowledge production. This investigation contributes to the progress of curatorial studies by providing insights into the dynamic intersection between curation and research.
