Dean Daderko
Dean Daderko is dedicated to establishing dialogue for and with an audience. He is interested in getting people talking. His curating practices are also about creating a continuity between exhibitions – thinking about the way exhibitions talk to each other. It is not about the conversations a particular exhibitions will generate, but how other exhibitions will relate to each other over a continuous vision.
When selecting artists for an exhibitions Daderko looks for clarity of vision, energy, and interesting formal and conceptual qualities – that both of those are mixed in the work. He is interested in things that are unfamiliar to him, things that he has not seen before.
