Biography

Judit joined DJCAD as a Lecturer and Baxter Fellow in Curatorial Practice (Art & Design) in 2020 and now works as the Director of the new MFA Curatorial Practice (Art&Design) Programme at DJCAD, which she wrote and developed, with partners including the V&A Dundee, and the University of Dundee Museum and Archives.

With a background in Art History (ELTE, Budapest, 2002), Arts Management (Dartington College of Arts, University of Plymouth, 2005) and a practice-led and AHRC-funded collaborative Doctoral Award in curatorial practice (Aberystwyth University, 2017) Judit has experience as a curator, creative producer, part-time academic, researcher, writer, and editor independently and in a variety of roles in artist-led organisations (Artpool, Budapest; East Street Arts, Leeds; WAVEparticle, Glasgow) and Higher Education Institutions (MA Curating Award lead, Dartington College of Arts; Fine Art Lecturer and Creative Fellow, York St John University; Associate Tutor then Lecturer, MLitt Curatorial Practice at The Glasgow School of Art).


Judit's primary interest is exploring and making visible the histories and practices of post-1970s countercultural art practices developed through artist-to-artist networks. Her other interests include curatorial education, practice-as-research in curating, and creating sustainable frameworks in the arts through HEI-industry partnership work.

Since joining DJCAD, Judit has worked as Principal Investigator on two RSE-funded international research projects, as the Project Lead and Curator of the DJCAD Research EXPO, and as Creative Economies Knowledge Exchange Hub Lead at the Scottish Graduate School of Arts and Humanities on behalf of University of Dundee.

Before joining DJCAD, Judit worked as a freelance curator on No such permanence, only becoming (Festival of Ephemeral Art, Sokołowsko, Poland, 2019), Left Performance Histories (NGbK, Berlin 2018), Silent Explosion: Ivor Davies and Destruction in Art at the National Museum Wales, Cardiff (2015) and as the creative producer of The Happenstance, Scotland’s Collateral Event at the 16th Architectural Biennial, Venice.

Judit’s research writings have been published by Routledge, Palgrave MacMillan, Taylor&Francis, Brill, Trancript Verlag, Occassional Papers and Apparatus Journal.
 

Judit currently serves as a Trustee of the Alasdair Gray Archive, Glasgow and Generator Projects Dundee, and as member of the Council for Higher Education in Art & Design (CHEAD) Research Innovation and Knowledge Exchange (RIKE) Alliance.
