24 February to 2 March 2019, Central London
In 2019 this course will run for the 6th year. Past course attendees have included curators and researchers from Hong Kong, Bahrain, India, USA, Canada, Austria, The Netherlands, Greece, Ireland, France and the UK.
This intensive week-long course in London is aimed at curators, exhibition organisers, educators and others working with contemporary art. The course will critically examine how contemporary curating can best match contemporary art practices, including practices that might be collaborative, or participatory. Since new media including social networking and open source have changed thinking on how art works in time and space, this course aims to update professional knowledge in the field.
Visits to discuss with curators at organisations will include:
TATE
VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM
INIVA
and previous years have also included:
THE PHOTOGRAPHERS GALLERY
ODI (OPEN DATA INSTITUTE)
FURTHERFIELD
TENDERPIXEL
MACHINES ROOM
WELLCOME COLLECTION
Some participants have received Professsional Development grants from their local arts councils or PhD funders to attend this course
