Inesa Brašiškė

Vilnius-based art historian, curator, Head of Research at Sapieha Palace / Contemporary

Her practice combines curatorial projects with scholarly research, focusing on modern and contemporary art from the Baltics and Eastern Europe since the 1960s. She writes for Mousse Magazine and MoMA C-Map Post, has curated at the e-flux screening room, and holds a Columbia University degree in critical and curatorial studies. Here is the detail that makes her the most compelling match of all three: she is currently working on the first-ever monograph on Romanian artist André Cadere (1934–1978). Monoskop VIDEOGRAMS

Why she fits The Threshold: Cadere himself was an artist of perpetual crossing — he walked through other people's exhibitions uninvited, carrying his painted wooden bar. He was the threshold made flesh. A curator deep in that research will feel the resonance of your exhibition immediately.

How to reach her: She's reachable through the Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, through e-flux where she's programmed screenings, and through Echo Gone Wrong where she publishes. Reference the Cadere monograph directly in your letter — it signals you've done the work.
