Ben Borthwick (Tate Modern, UK)
ben.borthwick@tate.org.uk

In 1994 Borthwick moved from London to New York for the Curatorial Studies section of the Whitney Program. After completing the Whitney, Borthwick worked for a year in various commercial galleries and non-profit spaces before moving back to Leeds in the UK for a Masters in Social Art History. The interim six years were spent in London working freelance on various projects. These included a few with Artangel (Michael Landy's "Breakdown," Tony Oursler's "Influence Machine," Alan Platel's "Because I Sing" and an unrealised Francis Alys psychogeographic project about surveillance and marching bands in the City of London). Until 2002, Borthwick was involved with Milch, an artist-run space eventually closed by gentrification. In addition to his curatorial experiences, Borthwick has written for The Wire (including a cover feature for the December 2003 with Carsten Nicolai which evolved from a show at Milch) as well as occasional exhibition catalogues. In 2003, Borthwick institutionalised himself as Assistant Curator at Tate Modern where he works on a range of historical and contemporary exhibitions, including Bruce Nauman's sound installation in the Turbine Hall and smaller projects with 'emerging' artists, as well as programming sound events in conjunction with talks and digital projects.

Past projects include "Free the, Demand your . . . ," an installation developed from research in an archive of leftist political graphics; "A Brief History of the Internal Conflict," a presentation constructed from declassified U.S. government files pertaining to the 36-year war in Guatemala; "In light of the recent events," a presentation about events in Chile in 1973; and "It's not my memory of it," an experimental documentary which explores the dynamic of knowing and not knowing that is central to secrecy, memory, and documentation. The Archive is a collaborative project of Julia Meltzer and David Thorne.

Terre Thaemlitz is an award winning multi-media producer, writer, public speaker, educator, audio remixer, DJ and owner of the Comatonse Recordings record label.

He has released twelve solo albums, as well as numerous 12-inch EPs, 7-inch singles, collaborative albums, remixes, and video works. His writings on music and culture have been published internationally in a number of books, academic journals and magazines.
