Renée Ridgway is an artist and independent curator based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Since completing her studies in fine art at the Rhode Island School of Design, (BFA), Rietveld Academie and Piet Zwart Institute (MA), she has gone on to exhibit widely in the Netherlands and abroad. Last year she focused on a new body of work coined ‘cultural currency’, whilst lecturing and teaching at various institutions in the U.S., U.K. and the Netherlands.
Ridgway’s curatorial and collaborational practice has investigated alter egos/constructed identities- (Migrating Identity-Identifying the Migrant 2001, cat.), the unseen other in society- (Migrating Identity-Transmission/Reconstruction 2004, cat.), sovereignty- (Third Space in the Fourth World 2003, cat.) and the boundaries of otherness- (Another Publication 2007, cat.) Presently she is initiating a digital platform that encompasses curatorial perspectives from all over the world. (n.e.w.s.)
