Keith Whittle (Director)
Keith Whittle is a curator, writer, and visiting professor based in London, with over two decades of experience in contemporary art, exhibition-making, and international cultural exchange. His practice spans curatorial direction, advisory roles, and programme development, with a focus on artists working in experimental, research-driven, and socially engaged modes. Whittle has collaborated closely with individual artists and collectives, supporting residencies, major exhibitions, and cross-cultural projects that interrogate the boundaries of art, participation, and institutional frameworks.
His curatorial approach emphasises collaboration, critical reflection, and the interplay between local contexts and global artistic networks, aiming to amplify underrepresented voices and experimental forms of knowledge production. Alongside curatorial work, he is an active writer and lecturer, contributing essays, reviews, and academic commentary on contemporary artistic practice, cultural politics, and the ethics of exhibition-making. He regularly speaks at conferences and universities internationally, fostering dialogue around interdisciplinarity, relational aesthetics, and the evolving role of the curator in shaping audiences, meaning, and institutional critique.
