Lotte Løvholm is the interim curator of The Museum of Contemporary Art Roskilde (2024-2026). She is the founder of art space Collega in Copenhagen. With a background in critical theory, she is interested in how contemporary art interacts with wider culture and cultural history. Lotte runs the interview series Living Archives/Levende arkiver at Bastard Performance Art Journal which covers performance art practices in Scandinavia. She has collaborated with various art institutions and cultural organisations, including Kunsthal Aarhus, Malmö Konstmuseum, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, ARoS Aarhus Art Museum and 1.1 Basel. She values collaboration and the different ways of working collectively that can lead to new perspectives on how we present art. Lotte’s practice moves between intense periods of archive-digging and more extroverted activities like hosting openings, performances, dinners and moderating talks and interviews. She values long-term work relationships and the friendships they bring.
