By leading the development of LUMA Arles, Maja Hoffmann has helped advance the Foundation’s mission by addressing urgent issues around culture, nature, scientific experimentation and ecology, while promoting new structures for innovation and positive change. While helping LUMA gain extensive recognition through its diverse projects and artistic programmes, which also include initiatives like the steering and production of the arts biennial Elevation 1049 in Gstaad or the programming of LUMA Westbau in Zurich, Maja is also actively involved with a number of institutions internationally. She is currently the President of the Swiss Institute, New York (USA) and the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles (France), the Vice-President of the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation, Basel (Switzerland), and serves on the boards of Serpentine Galleries, London (UK), Kunsthalle Zürich (Switzerland), the New Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, both in New York (USA).
