Jennifer Teets is a contemporary art curator, writer, and performer born in Houston, Texas, 1978, living and working from Paris. She is known for her research on cheese, mud, and terra-sigillata – their transitioning towards materiality and entity and their ability to become something else when put in an exhibition or an essay. Her research and writing combines inquiry, sciences studies, philosophy, and ficto-critique, and performs as an interrogative springboard for her curatorial practice. She recently presented “(w/ Margarida Mendes) The World in Which We Occur” at the XII Baltic Triennial in Vilnius – an events series taking place over the telephone, and formulated around questions addressed by speakers across the world. The “World in Which We Occur” embarks on modern day issues rooted in the history of materiality and flux as well as pertinent politically enmeshed scientific affairs shaping our world today.

Teets holds a Master’s degree in Experimentation in Arts and Politics from Sciences Po, Paris (under the direction of Bruno Latour). From 2003‒07, she spearheaded the contemporary art program at the Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros in Mexico City, the former home/studio of Mexican Muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. She has written extensively on art and curating in international art magazines and other publications.
