Mônica Hoff

Mônica Hoff is an artist, curator, and researcher based in Florianópolis, Brazil. She investigates relations between curatorial, artistic, and educational practices and how these conflict with and determine institutional polices and pedagogies. Her projects include Lab of curating, art and education, with Fernanda Albuquerque (2014–present); Embarcação, with Kamilla Nunes (Florianópolis, 2016–present); Public Office of Questions (2016–present); La Grupa (2018–present); Extraordinary School (2018); Heart Lungs Liver (2019–20); and Ni apocalipsis ni paraiso (2021). Hoff co-edited Pedagogy in the Expanded Field with Pablo Helguera (8th Mercosul Biennial, 2011); The Cloud and The Manual for Curious with Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy (9th Mersocul Biennial, 2013); and the Portuguese translation of Martha Rosler’s 1970s novel Tijuana Maid with Regina Melim (Parentesis, 2018). Hoff received her Ph.D. in contemporary artistic processes from CEART/UDESC, Florianópolis, with an investigation of artist-run art schools and how artistic methodologies become pedagogy, which in turn becomes institutions.
