About
Ariana Martin (b. 1992) originally from the Pacific North West of the US, finds herself situated in an interdisciplinary practice, one that includes a background and experience in architecture and architectural design, a passion for film photography, a developing interest in collaborative projects, and how all of this comes together in the curatorial field.
‘I’ve recently been more and more convinced that a curator is more akin to a journalist; a “participant observer”. Someone who claims to be telling a story but is actively creating one at the same time, just from their own perspective. Our duties and abilities go beyond putting this next to that. A curator researches, writes, mediates, schedules, and predicts. It’s about understanding why the connections that are being made are important or relevant. As a curator, growth is encouraged and as a human it is inevitable. Our environments don’t stop, and neither can we. But we can pause for moments of intimacy to help us make sense of it all.’
