Gregory Lang is an independant curator working mainly with public and private institutions.
From exhibitions including historical artworks to newly commissioned installations, his practice is deeply shaped by the minimal and conceptual arts from the 60s and 70s. In relation to the economy of attention, his philosophical approach centers the perceptive body in space and offers differentiated experiences of time. Consequently, his research that considers humans as part of an ecosystem, expands into the living world and sciences, and to architecture and art in public space.
Gregory Lang curatorial practice and career spans multiple typologies of institutions and geographies. Driven by a versatile approach, he has collaborated within or with prestigious museums and private collections, as well as independent and artist-led initiatives. Similarly, he has expanded his artistic research to different territories, travelling himself or bringing artists or their works to new contexts. Praised for his conceptual rigor and his ability to construct meaningful narratives and experiences for a wide range of contemporary audiences, he reached an international recognition.
