Art History is the History of Ideas.

As Ardalan Curator of Modern & Contemporary Projects at the National Gallery, London, I relate the historical collection to contemporary art and culture through exhibitions, commissions, residencies, research and interpretation.

Recent projects include Jeremy Deller’s The Triumph of Art (2025), Mud Sun by Richard Long (2025), Lucian Freud: New Perspectives (2022) and Messengers by Bridget Riley (2019). Previous exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery include Eduardo Paolozzi (2017); The London Open (2015); and Hannah Höch (2014).
