Eva González-Sancho Bodero

Eva González-Sancho Bodero is a curator, maker, and researcher working within the field of contemporary art. Her research and practical curation engage in the rethinking of institutional praxes to accompany, produce, display, and collect open artistic practices—open in time, space, and authorship—that question traditional Western-canon institutional infrastructures. Her work pays particular attention to practices that induce forms of blurring or dissolution of authorship and intellectual property in favour of the collective, and to issues of collaboration, collectivization, transformation, process, and the commons, generating emancipatory gestures and forms of shared agency.

Over more than twenty-five years, González-Sancho Bodero has developed a professional trajectory between Belgium, France, Norway, and Spain, where she has helmed contemporary art spaces, museums, and artists’ residencies, including Établissement d’en face (Brussels, 1998–2003), Frac Bourgogne (Dijon, 2003–2011), and MUSAC (Spain, 2013), with a reflection on both the construction of the public sphere and the building of contemporary art collections. She has also worked within biennial contexts, including the project OSLO PILOT (2014–2017) and the subsequent launching of Oslobiennalen (2019–2024), both part of a curatorial proposal testing out new biennial formats.

Currently undertaking a PhD, her ongoing research reflects on the infrastructural bases from which institutions might operate, from and within frameworks of co-creation and artistic processuality, indeterminacy, and contingency. It does so through a practical and experimental case study methodology departing from two contemporary artistic practices originating in the 1990s: those of Dora García (Spain, 1965) and Agency, founded in 1992 by Kobe Matthys (Belgium, 1970-2023). In 2026, she has joined the CCQO with the desire to nurture her intertwined PhD investigations and curatorial work, particularly around the idea of commoning and forms of artistic and civic activism.
