Summary
Stephan Kuss is an exhibition professional and associate curator based in Vienna with eight years’ experience planning and delivering museum and gallery projects across contemporary art and cultural heritage institutions. He combines hands-on exhibition management—from artist correspondence and logistics to writing exhibition texts—with public relations and social media strategy, ensuring projects run smoothly and reach their audiences. Trained in exhibition theory and Slavic studies (MA), he brings both scholarly rigor and multilingual communication skills to interdisciplinary collaborations. His background includes a research stint at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and practical roles at Kunst Haus Wien, Kunstraum Nestroyhof and Galerie Raum mit Licht, reflecting a steady progression from gallery assistant to curatorial leadership. Unusually for a curator, he has also contributed to digital scholarly editions, signaling an interest in digital humanities methods alongside exhibition practice.
