Maike Aden

Maike Aden, Dr phil., works as curator, author and university teacher in Paris. In line with her dual qualification as an art historian and musicologist, her interests focus on two directions: the concepts and practices of the independent network scenes of the post-1960s and the history of sound art.

After completing her doctorate, she worked at German universities until she joined the ICP University in Paris. She reorganised and represented the archive of a former artists’ book publisher and carried out various research and curatorial activities for exhibitions. These include the first comprehensive retrospective on Ulises Carrión in Madrid and Mexico City, an exhibition to mark the 30th anniversary of the artists’ book collection at the Serralves Porto Museum and the presentation of the Sound Collection Guy Schraenen in Besançon. Recently, she curated two exhibitions at the Museo Reina Sofía Madrid: ‘Contact with Guy Schraenen’ and ‘Disonata. Art in sound until 1980″.
