<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">The four day long workshop will try to show how
important is the relation between contemporary curating and theoretical
discourses and how important it is that the position of contemporary curator is
epistemologically explained. With the term translation (instead of 'use') we
emphasize the awareness of limitations which occur when theoretical concepts
are used as an excuse/advocacy of the curatorial choice of models, strategies
and relationships instead of using this concepts as starting points for a
self-critical reflection on art and curatorial choices.</span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> </span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">The workshop will try to give an answer to the
following questions:</span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">- whether theory confines curating or enables more
innovative curatorial models</span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">- whether one of the roles of contemporary art
curators, to address complex and socially relevant questions, produces more
versatile and contextually sensitive truth when theoretical models are
consulted </span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">- how the process of translation of various
theoretical, cultural, and artistic concepts into specific projects embrace and
promote the pedagogical and epistemological responsibility</span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">- how to apply theory in curating without giving to it
primary role</span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">- how to intertwine theory and issues that stem out of
everyday life</span></font></p>
