Marjoca de Greef is an independent curator. Her practice is composed of explicit and implicit relationships, which means that cross-domain collaboration is her modus operandi. Since 2018, Anastasija Pandilovska has joined her to create new landscapes for non-competitive modes of art making. Marjoca is interested in, and writes about, the ritual dimensions of art and material culture, and how relational qualities of objects affect situations and events. As part of her artistic practice she translates, employing the act of translation as a form of collaboration to curate subtleties, to amplify a text’s potential, and to substantiate linguistic diversity. She has developed numerous multi-authored and investigative projects and exhibitions, often in culturally and historically defined spaces. When physical encounters became off-limits in 2020, she created with Anastasija Pandilovska the online platform ‘In the pause of a gesture there might be an echo’. In 2022 she was the conceptual initiator, and one of the curators of: ‘U zult begrijpen dat ...’ a reflective exhibition, exhuming the wartime past of the artist’s society Arti et Amicitiae. The exhibition was curated in close collaboration with historians Lucie van Hulst and Eliza van Walraven, and bolstered by the exceptional exhibition design by Marieke van Diemen. Currently, Marjoca is one of the curators of ‘We don’t want to be stars, but part of constellations’.
