Lorenzo Benedetti
— Italian, independent, based between Italy and the Netherlands
Has directed De Vleeshal in Middelburg and worked extensively with MACRO Rome. Genuinely formalist — interested in materiality, sculpture, the physical conditions of exhibition-making. Independent now, which makes him more available. Italian origin gives you Southern Europe, and his Dutch years give him Northern European networks. He's exactly the kind of curator who looks for conceptually ambitious platforms to work with outside institutional constraints.
