Maaike Gouwenberg is a curator and producer working between Europe and the US. Focused on performative practices, and through long-term collaborations with artists and curators, she specializes in the intersection between theater and the visual arts. After running her own multidisciplinary exhibition space Expodium in Utrecht, Gouwenberg participated in the renowned De Appel Curatorial Program (2006-2007) and worked as a curator at the research and production platform If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution (2007 - 2011).
