Eline Verstegen

Eline Verstegen (BE) is an independent curator and writer based in Antwerp.

Verstegen provided the exhibition texts for the gallery shows in 2022 and 2023.

 

She holds an MA in History, specializing in 19th– and 20th-century (art) history, from the University of Antwerp (2013) and an MA Curating the Contemporary from London Metropolitan University and Whitechapel Gallery (2017).

Her curatorial practice is informed by a keen interest in immersive installations and atmospheres, and by a significant attention to multidisciplinary cross-overs with the performing arts, film, literature, philosophy and cultural theory.

Besides her freelance practice as curator and author, she gained professional experience working on exhibitions and public programmes at Kunsthal Extra City (Antwerp), The Roberts Institute of Art, Whitechapel Gallery, Art Night 2017 and SE8 Gallery (all London), as an assistant intern coordinator at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Venice) and production assistant at Artefact Festival (Leuven). She currently works for the City of Antwerp as project coordinator for late night museum openings.
