Wallflower Structure Reshuffle & Curatorial Advisory Group | Katrin Koenning & Paul Batt

Wallflower Photomedia Gallery is thrilled to announce the establishment of a curatorial advisory group as part of our structural change for the 2014 year. Paul Batt and Katrin Koenning will be joining the WPG family, bringing to the gallery their particular specialties, experience and knowledge. Their ideas will be key contributions to the program through discussion and decisions on the correct course of the exhibition schedule and satellite projects including extended engagement through interviews and public programs. In addition to these activities, both advisors will also be curating a project within the 2014/2015 calendar.

Our 2012/2013 curator Kristian Häggblom will be moving to a directorial role and the assistant curator for the 2013 program, Moana Kidd, will be taking on the role under the newly appointed advisory team.
