curator, writer, researcher

Angela Serino (she/her) is an independent curator and writer based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, who has worked with artists' residencies in various roles – as curator of temporary residency projects (RedLight Art Amsterdam, 2008-2009), as part of the artistic committee of Kunsthuis SYB (2010-2015), and as curator in residency of several international programmes. 

In 2015, she curated the “International Meeting of Residencies: Residencies as Learning Environments,” organized by AIR – artinresidence and FARE in Milan, and edited its eponymous publication. In 2020, she co-founded the Art Residency Research Collective (ARRC), which studies the evolving practices of art residencies through a hybrid residency format. Her ongoing commitment to the residency field is reflected in her 2024 book Configurations of Time: Imagining Other Temporalities in the Art Residency, published by Set Margins’. Drawing on the works of artists and time theory in science and cultural studies—such as Carlo Rovelli, Lisa Baraitser, and María Puig de la Bellacasa—the book explores how time is experienced in residencies through overlapping concepts of space-time, care-time, and soil-time.

She has recently begun a new research project centered on Kate Millett’s Farm, a women’s artist colony that served as an inspiration for the co-edited volume Between the Standing and the Inclined: Structures Supporting Change (Kunstlicht, Vol. 44, No. 4, 2023).

Alongside models and practices of residencies, she is interested in individual and collective moments of research, self-reflection, and learning focused on ecological belonging, feminist histories, and their relevance today.

Angela Serino graduated (with distinction) in Communication from the University of Siena (IT) and is an alumna of de Appel’s Curatorial Programme.
