Resumé

This paper explores the “in-between” as a curatable condition within contemporary exhibition making. Through a case study of Mark Wallinger’s The Russian Linesman (2009), it examines how spatial, conceptual, and perceptual thresholds can structure conditions for sensory, emotional, and intellectual engagement within exhibition practice.
