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 ...
