Joël Riff is an independant curator.
For Moly-Sabata, the oldest artists’ residence in France, which he joined in 2014, he initiates several projects per year and invites artists to stay for production. In 2008, he founded the column Curiosité, which he publishes every Monday morning, contributes to the Revue de la Céramique et du Verre as well as to the catalogs of the Salon de Montrouge, and regularly responds to commissions for texts. He has been teaching at the Duperré School since 2010. In 2021, he is working on “Tête-à-tête”, the next solo exhibition of Caroline Achaintre at the Galerie Art:Concept in Paris, preparing the group exhibitions “Empire et royaume” at Art-O-Rama (Marseille), “Faire essaim” at Moly-Sabata as well as “Une vie analogue” at The Pill (Istanbul), and is working on Marion Verboom’s first monograph for Dilecta.
