Anastasija Proshutinskaya's Lecture: "Where Are You Staying "At Home"? (or "We Found Love in a Hopeless Place")


Topic Tags: contemporary dance institutional belonging fetishization vulnerability storytelling

·         Contemporary dance exists in Moscow, but there is no infrastructure supporting it

·         Institutional belonging

·         Methodological theatre between theatre and dance

·         Documentary dance

·         For theatre people: the body is a living archive of untold stories and hidden lineages, storytelling as a way of pulling the stories out of the body

·         Rhizomatic nature of dancing body

·         Curated project: "Clow
dy Solutions"

·         Museum fetishizes objects, as much as theatre fetishizes words and narratives - how can we fetishize dance on its own terms? As movement?

·         Vulnerability between artists and curators

·         "The non-security state is the most secure state you can be in"

·         Just cheating and lying or a strategy and tactic?

·         Adaptation to the language of those in power in order to prevent subversion by the state

Anastasia Proshutinskaya acquired M.A. in Art Theory and History from the Moscow State University and M.A. in Performance Studies from The Southern Illinois University. Since 2012, she has been in charge of contemporary dance curating in ZIL Culture Centre, Moscow, with her focus being on the emergence of independent dance artists, knowledge and language in dance, as well as international encounters. Since recently, she is an independent curator and researcher. In 2020, she conducted a course on contemporary dance visuality for MA in Curating Contemporary Art (HSE, Moscow and Garage Contemporary Museum, Moscow). This made her interested in the peculiar presence of dance within the museum and visual arts discourse.

SEMINAR – Suzana Milevska: Becoming-Curator vs. Becoming a Curator

SEMINAR – Suzana Milevska (North Macedonia): Becoming-Curator vs. Becoming a Curator Abstract :  Topic Tags: Curating curatorial curator offspring curatorial agency In recent times, curating has provided a point of cross-disciplinary interchange between several distinguished disciplines and professions that deal with art. The courses and university departments that initially taught curating as a subject mainly focused on its practice, but such a dichotomy no longer exists now that curating is taught as a subject or course in many different departments and universities, and the term itself is used in a much broader terms. This presentation will therefore address the question how the concept of curatorial relates to both the theory and practice of curating. I want to argue that “curatorial” and “curatorial knowledge” have advanced into terms that encompass the condition in which philosophy, theory and epistemology are intertwined and produced a new discourse and culture th...

WORKSHOP - Danae Theodoridou: Artificial Social Imaginaries: Curation of Live Events as Construction Sites for Social Change

  Danae Theodoridou: Artificial Social Imaginaries: Curation of Live Events as Construction Sites for Social Change Through a series of individual and group tasks of reading, writing, discussing, questioning, designing and testing, this workshop will involve students in a critical process that aims to reflect on the relation between curatorial practices and social change. In this frame, we will approach the design of any curatorial project as an artificial construction site for the creation of alternative social imaginaries, i.e. as a concrete alternative proposal about the way we imagine and practice our social coexistence. The act of curating will, thus, be worked as a practice that moves away from established norms and social habits; as the crafting of social encounters towards more imaginative, unknown directions, away from capitalist demands that strive for the ‘groundbreaking’, the ‘new’, the ‘successful’, the controllable, popular, profitable and effective product. Key terms...

ARTISTS AND CURATORS TALKS by Barbara Bryan / presentation of her work in Movement Research

  ARTISTS AND CURATORS TALKS///  Barbara Bryan, Executive director of Movement Research New York, independent art producer and curator/// presentation of her work as a curator and executive director in Movement Research///   ABSTRACT:   As the Executive Director of Movement Research, my role is to innovate curatorial and programmatic structures that hold space for the amplification of artists’ voices in curation and programmatic planning. My goal is to conceive fluid and malleable formats that support evolving and emergent practices, and new voices in the field. Questions that I ask from a curatorial framework are how to be responsive, rather than reactive, to evolving discourse and trends in experimental dance and the intersections of socio-political contexts and activism? How do we develop frameworks that have flexibility built in to the fabric of the format, and thus are not formulaic, but rather are ideations that can be stretched, reshaped and reimagined by ...
