The Curatorial Roundtable: Marie de Brugerolle (Paris)

Hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

The Curatorial Roundtable, an international forum for curators and institutional leaders to discuss formative and current projects, is hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Marie de Brugerolle is a curator, author, and dramaturg. Challenging linear history, her work investigates the margins, entangling theory and practice. Gossip, speculative archives, and re-enactements are part of her method. She is a professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA), Lyon. De Brugerolle is internationally recognized for her scholarship on the artist Guy de Cointet, having authored key publications and organized major exhibitions and re-enactments that reintroduced his work to contemporary audiences. These include Who’s That Guy?  (MAMCO Geneva, 2004) Who’s That Guy? (2010) and the documentary film under the same title in 2011. Since 2011, she has deployed a theoretical framework, "Post-Performance Future," to investigate the impact of performativity on the visual arts. The book Post-Performance Future, Method was published in 2023 (T&P Publishing, Paris) and celebrated at the Pompidou Center, Paris (Liv®e Live, October 2024). de Brugerolle lectures regularly at UCLA and the Royal Academy in London and Oxford). She contributes to Art Press, Mousse, Flash Art, and to catalogs, such as Mike Kelley: Ghost and Spirit, 2024/2025. de Brugerolle's novel, Polyspherus, was published in 2021 (Ishtar, Brussels). In 2025, she curated WORD IS ROUND (Frac Nantes.) She is the guest editor of Transatlantique - John Baldessari (ER Publishing, Paris, 2025).
