Lorraine de Thibault moves across the contemporary art world as an author and poet, curator, professor, and researcher — inhabiting the porous boundaries between creation, production, and care. Embracing a plural identity, she describes herself as a slasher: a practitioner of multiple forms and knowledges whose expertise unfolds across artistic, academic, and curatorial practices.

Since 2022, she has been the Director of the Servais Family Collection, where she tends to the collection’s life — its acquisitions, loans, conservation, and exhibitions. Among her recent projects, she co-curated Vulnerable Objectivities in a Garden of Delights and Horrors with Erika Olea and Dragos Olea at the Loft, the collection exhibition space, a dialogue between fragility, multiplicity, and the unsettling.

Her current research investigates the diffraction of professional identities in contemporary art, drawing on poetry and quantum physics to trace the shifting, entangled nature of being and doing in creative work. Through this lens, she explores how multiplicity itself becomes a method — and a way of existing — within today’s art ecosystems.
