Marie DuPasquier (*1984, Zurich and Berlin) is an art historian, museologist and freelance curator. She studied art history and museology at the University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland (MA, Eugène Ferdinand Piccard Prize, 2012). In her most recent projects and research she concentrates on exhibition conception with a focus on transformation processes and displays.
