Yuval Aluf is an art writer and interviewer based in London. She studies History of Art at The Courtauld Institute of Art, where she was awarded the John Hayes Travel Prize, and writes for The Courtauldian Magazine. Her work focuses on contemporary art, exhibition-making, and curatorial practice.
Through interviews and critical writing, she examines how art is encountered across galleries, art fairs, and institutional contexts. Her work addresses the relationships between artists, curators, collectors, and audiences, as well as how local art scenes operate within the global art world.
Joël Riff, curator of La Verrière at Fondation d’Entreprise Hermès, reflects on exhibition-making as a condition of encounter rather than a fixed form. Set within the Brussels art scene, the conversation examines curating as a practice shaped by context, material, and responsibility, and considers how exhibitions, publishing, and research operate as distinct yet interconnected modes of experience.
