Stéphanie Ruth is a curator and art historian, with over twenty years of experience working with modern, post-war contemporary and contemporary art.  Her approach is characterised by cross-generational dialogues and narratives within multi sensory and interdisciplinary exhibitions. By encouraging bodied engagement and inquiry, she aims to re-sensualise the experience of viewing art. She favours curating exhibitions beyond the confines of the ‘white cube’, seeking to kindle poetic thought and audience participation. 

In 2022, Stéphanie founded PARLOUR, an itinerant exhibition platform of modern and contemporary art staged in private homes around the world. She holds a master’s degree in the History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art, where her dissertation, ‘Performing Utopias: The Spatialisation of Man and the Activation of Space in Oskar Schlemmer’s Theatre’, earned a distinction. Her research explored the intersection of art, costume, and space, examining how form and movement can activate and transform environments to embody a utopian ideal.
