Violeta Janeiro is a key name in collaborative art. An independent art curator and researcher with an ample background in contemporary art, her work examines different collaborative art practices, the politics of knowledge, and alternative modes of producing, receiving and channelling art.

She has worked at the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Spanish Consulate in Shanghai and Summa Art Fair. She directed the Galería Helga de Alvear in Madrid and has promoted various research projects.

She holds a degree in Art History from the University of Santiago de Compostela and a MA in Fine Arts from Kingston University, London.

Violeta Janeiro’s contribution to the Ses12naus residency is a research project. Called Collaborative art in the 90s, it takes an in-depth look into a subject the artist knows well, as it was the subject of her doctoral thesis.
