Keren Detton

Director of the FRAC Grand Large — Hauts-de-France regional collection of contemporary art

Keren Detton pursues a curatorial practice nourished by both art history and emerging creation, as seen through the prisms of various social, cultural and political contexts. From 2009 to 2016, she directed Le Quartier contemporary art centre, where she produced some fifty monographic and collective exhibitions, as well as a dozen publications, catalogues and artist’s books.
