- 29.05.2026 Welcome, Kristina Miller!Kuratorische Kontaktzonen
Welcome, Kristina Miller
with Kristina Miller, we are delighted to welcome our first curator to Dialogfelder. Kristina’s work begins precisely where social change becomes visible, tangible and open to discussion: in spaces, milieus, images, routines and ruptures. We are lokking forward that her curatorial residency, Curatorial Contact Zones , will bring a new dimension to the project – an observant, questioning and connecting perspective that precedes the 2027 artist residencies.
Kristina Miller, born in 1992, lives and works as a curator in Berlin. In her practice, she engages with artistic positions that examine social dynamics, social orders and sociological phenomena. She is particularly interested in closed systems and spaces, decoupled milieus, and places where processes of social negotiation become particularly concentrated and visible.
Drawing on contemporary discourses characterised by radicalisation, the search for identity, uncertainty and resignation, she turns her attention to spaces and movements in which new forms of social reality are emerging. Kristina’s curatorial work combines analytical and academic research, biographical work, field research and the analysis of scene-specific visual languages. Between offline and online cultures, she is interested in the social mechanisms that intertwine analogue and digital realities. Her projects thus navigate the terrain between sociological observation, artistic translation and the question of how spaces shape our coexistence.
As part of the Dialogfelder project, Kristina Miller is visiting eight art spaces in Germany – four in eastern and four in western Germany, in both urban and peripheral regions. Her research explores how art spaces respond to social, spatial and structural processes of transformation, what strategies they develop in dealing with ruptures and change, and how new connections can emerge from this.
Kristina Miller studied sociology at the University of Vienna and Spatial Strategies at the Weißensee Academy of Art in Berlin. For her research work, she has been awarded, among other honours, the Research Grant from the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion, Berlin. In collaboration with cross-media artists, she develops concepts, curatorial formats and texts. As a studio director, she has realised works and exhibitions of international scope, including in collaboration with the ZK/U – Centre for Art and Urbanism Berlin, the mumok – Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna, documenta Kassel, and the bbk Berlin, and has recently returned from a curatorial fellowship at the Akademie Schloss Solitude.
