In 2026-27 I will be responsible for the MA in curating at Aarhus University in collaboration with my close colleagues Jacob Lund (@jacoblundimagespace) and Jussi Parikka. The program is an executive MA program, allowing students to work full time while studying.

Module 1 will start in September and I’m currently planning field trips to Oslo and Aarhus. In Oslo we will visit The Oslo Triennale (@oslotriennale), Guttormsgaards arkiv (@guttormsgaardsarkiv), International Library of Fashion Research (@fashionresearchlibrary), Interkulturelt Museum (@oslomuseum), and ROM for kunst og arkitektur (@rom_for_kunst_og_arkitektur), and talk to curators Drew Snyder (@snydr), Elise By Olsen (@elisebyolsen), Ellef Prestsæter, Annelise Bothner-By (@anneliserosemary), Gjertrud Steinsvåg (@gjertrudsteinsvag), and artist Sayed Sattar Hasan (@hasansen_ltd). In Aarhus we will have a collaboration with Det Jyske Kunstakademi, Rerum by Danish Crafts & Design Association, architect and curator Hala Alnaji (@alnajihala), and last, but not least, researcher and curator Dan Siedell (@dansiedell). Throughout the fall there will be online talks by international guest speakers. Our regular contributions from our faculty include Daniela Agostinho (@danielapagostinho) and Magdalena Tyżlik-Carver.

There is still time to sign up for the MA in Curating, application deadline is 5 August. Two years relevant working experience is required to enter the MA. Read about the requirements, schedules, and prices at Aarhus University’s website for the program.

What exactly are we doing when we bring theology and art into “conversation” with each other? And, more crucially, how do we know when we’re doing the work well rather than poorly?

And for those of us who work in the interdisciplinary field of theology and the visual arts more specifically: What are we doing? How are we doing it? Why are we doing it like *this*? And what possibilities are opened up by different approaches?

That’s the gist of the project that I’ve been invited to participate in over the course of three years, “Theology and the Visual Arts,” captained with aplomb by @ben.quash. In his words:

“Now is the ideal moment to consolidate the discipline’s achievements, shape its future course, and help to establish a long-term presence in faculties and curricula.”

Involving an intensive engagement of the topic at King’s College London, the ultimate goal of the project is to produce an edited volume exploring hermeneutics and methodology in theology and the visual arts.

Having just edited, with Dan Train, a book of essays exploring the relation between pneumatology and the arts, I know firsthand how difficult this work is.

What seems intuitively right about the relation between the two is not always easy to clearly articulate. A confident assertion may turn out to be only an inchoate sense of things. And a method that works for one task (say, with theology & poetry) may prove ill-fitting to another (say, with theology & opera).

What’s the way forward? The way forward is fundamentally communal. None of us will figure this field out on our own. It’s for that reason that I’m particularly grateful to find myself in the company of stellar academics—art historians, art critics, theologians, and biblical scholars.

Together, by grace and a willingness to risk a great deal with each other, we’ll become a company of scholars who are bilingual in theology and the arts, respectful of each discipline, but perceiving the generative possibilities in their hybridity.

And while this field is still relatively young and, God help us, institutionally fragile, the work is invigorating, the future bright, and its members, here as elsewhere, really good people.
