SelfSelector

SelfSelector is the site of Lorena Muñoz-Alonso, a writer and curator based in London.

Deeply interested in how the disciplines of writing and curating overlap, she considers her work a ‘mixed practice’, stemming from a desire to research and disseminate current artistic discourses and aesthetic movements to a wide audience through different formats: Essays, articles, interviews, exhibitions… Her approach to art and culture is highly cross-disciplinary and often involves blending visual arts with cinema and music.

Lorena is features editor of the online art magazine thisistomorrow.info,  a role she combines with freelance writing for several other publications like frieze, Art-Agenda, A*Desk Magazine, Kaleidoscope, AD Magazine Spain or Celeste.

Recent publications include a collaboration with the curatorial platform Latitudes for the exhibition catalogue of The Last Newspaper, New Museum (2010). She has also written the exhibition essays for her own curated show Time Capsules (2010) and Julia Mariscal’s Horizontal Pleat show (2009).

Lorena is currently researching for a PhD proposal. She holds an MA in Critical Writing & Curatorial Practice from Chelsea College of Art & Design, University of the Arts, London, and she has worked for several art spaces and institutions like the curatorial department of Barbican Art Gallery, Pilar Corrias Gallery or Frieze Art Fair.
