CURATORIAL PRACTICE AND CONTEXT - COURSE

 

This is a course is for all who want to broaden your perspectives on curatorial practices in performing arts. The course offers critical reflection on diverse socio-political and economic contexts, as well as a possibility to develop curatorial methods for rethinking the practices of contemporary (performing) arts in relation to activism, self-organization and critical thinking.

Choreographers, dancers, curators and other artists and cultural workers related to the performing arts field are welcome to apply to this course. The course relates to questions concerning an expanded understanding of the curatorial, extending beyond black or white box presentation and representation politics. more...

The course analyses the environment in which art is produced and disseminated, and focuses on creation of knowledge and opportunities for practitioners who want to work with curatorial processes within the field of performing arts or interdisciplinary fields. The course further analyses and highlights curation in dialogue with its context and contemporary issues such as democracy, gender, feminism, ecology and human rights.  Furthermore, tools for critical and ethical reflection on curation are introduced to illustrate diverse examples on how to produce, advocate and initiate different models to present and articulate art within a specific context.

The course begins with an intensive week in Struga, North Macedonia, followed by two intensive periods with online seminars. Stockholm University of the Arts cover the costs for travel and accommodation for students enrolled in the course.

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

By -
Image
  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 ...
