Abstract

This essay presents a case study about Khôra gallery, based in Quito, to explore aspects of the curatorial work and methods of creative research. In the first paragraphs, the author formulates definitions around the notion of the curatorial, followed by an analysis of the conditions that determine the creation of Khôra and the theoretical frameworks that accompany its name. A second moment of this text, deliberates about the parameters of thought that covered the first four exhibitions hosted in the gallery, guided by the intention of causing relationships and overflows. Finally, the text closes with a reflection on the possibility of creating experimental models of research that arise when art exhibitions are understood as a means of exploration that go with the development of creative production within an academic space.


Key words: Curatorship, exhibition, research, academy, artists, experimentation.
