The Office for Curating is the generic name for a curatorial agency and research office, formalised and established in 2012 by Niekolaas Johannes Lekkerkerk, and currently active in and from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The Office for Curating acts as an assembler of a growing programme of exhibitions (including publications, texts, and speech acts) and as a support structure for initiating exhibitions as a rise to the occasion – presented in different shapes and configurations, along different temporal structures and rhythms, as hosted by different institutions. The Office for Curating takes a strong interest in curatorial practice as a tool for thinking contemporary society through artistic practices.
