Sarah Johanna Theurer
Sarah Johanna Theurer is a curator and writer focusing on time-based art and techno-social entanglements. She currently works at Haus der Kunst in Munich where she served as lead curator for numerous exhibitions, always pushing the boundaries: from living sculptures to generative music and machine learning, her curatorial work explores liveness and other forms of animation. Together with colleagues, she initiated the live program Echoes, as well as various projects and symposia on art and technology. She regularly writes for magazines and sometimes acts as a dramaturge with performance groups including OMSK Social Club or The Agency.
Sarah Johanna Theurer’s practice originates in radio, a living and shared dimension of listening, and embraces tuning -understood as living together in time- as a curatorial gesture. From this perspective, she proposes reading Ana Vujanović’s essay Meandering Together: New Problems in Landscape Dramaturgy to guide subsequent discussions and exercises.
The exercises focus on suspending the perspectival order structuring the landscape, exploring tensions between individual and collective registers of seeing, treating the landscape not as backdrop but as interlocutor.
Theurer’s workshop takes place on the final day of the 2025 School edition, with the second part dedicated to synthesis, both as a curatorial practice and as a weaving together of everything experienced, learned, and shared in the preceding days.
