Agnès Biro is currently Exhibition Organiser and Residency Manager at CEAAC in Strasbourg. She holds a BA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins (UK) and an MA in Curating Art from Stockholm University (SE). Her master's research examined the evolution of the Bruges Triennial’s curatorial approach from 1968 to 2021, exploring how contemporary art can shape and transform our experience of the urban environment.
Throughout her career, Agnès has gained extensive international experience, working with institutions and organizations including the State Hermitage Museum (RU), The Other Art Fair (UK), Galerie Antonine Catzéflis (FR), the Art Center Ygrec–ENSAPC (FR), the Bruges Triennial (2021 and 2024 editions, BE) and the exhibitions department of Frac Grand Large in Dunkirk (FR).
Her curatorial practice is driven by an interest in the dialogue between heritage and contemporary art, as well as by a desire to activate spaces beyond the traditional institutional framework. Her freelance projects include : La Dérive (2022), an invitation to an after-dark artistic walk through a secret location in Bruges; A moment in time (2021), a group exhibition featuring internationally renowned contemporary artists staged within the neoclassical home (1856) of Flemish poet Christine D’haen; Overflow (2020), a pop-up exhibition presenting three Konstfack University graduates in a student dormitory room; and Interruption (2021), a one-day artistic intervention involving four artists in the frozen landscapes of the Swedish woods. As a curator, she is looking at ways of manipulating spaces that change people’s natural rhythm and flow and help punctuate their sense of reality.
