BIOGRAPHIES:

Jorge Van den Eynde Gray is a Madrid-based curator and editor. After completing an MFA in Curating at Goldsmiths University of London, supported by the Curatorial Scholarship from the Botín Foundation, he returned to Madrid in 2020. Here he began working as an in(ter)dependent curator and editor, concurrently serving as an associate editor at Concreta and project manager at the FLORA International Flower Festival. Recently, he curated Subplotters (Pradiauto, 2023), the exhibition series Meandro Merodeo (Nadie Nunca Nada No, 2022) and Time’s Killing Arrow (ABM Confecciones, 2022). He has recently been guest editor of Concreta 21 (Spring 2023 issue), exploring fantasy as artistic methodology and the March 2022 issue of A*Desk, titled Among the Stars. Jorge’s curatorial practice explores the permeability between binary categories such as nature and culture, magic and science, body and technology, or oral and written histories. Therefore, his curatorial adventures manifest in various forms, using speculative fiction as a methodology to articulate alternative imaginaries and futures.
