DisplayCult is a curatorial collaborative that aims to rethink exhibition prototypes by amplifying sensory aesthetics, interrogating the diverse histories of display, and engaging with the performative aspects of presentation.

Exhibitions include NIGHTSENSE (2009), Odor Limits (2008), Listening Awry (2007), Do Me! (2006), Aural Cultures (2005), reminiSCENT (2003), Linda Montano (2003), Museopathy (2001), Vital Signs (2000) and CounterPoses (1998). Collaborative publications include the catalogues CounterPoses (2002) and Museopathy (2002), as well as essays in Trespassers & Captives (2000), Image and Inscription (2005), and Dispersions: Aernout Mik (2005). In 2000, they co-organized the academic conference Uncommon Senses: The Senses in Art and Culture held at Concordia University. |
