<font size="1"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Courier New'">Is
it still possible to break away from the cycle of reproducing the already
existing and inherently hierarchical systems of representation? How do
individual curatorial practices reaffirm or subvert the ways in which the
global art market functions? Can curating function outside of market conditions?
Is it possible to come up with common theories for contemporary curatorial
education across heterogeneous contexts, or is curating only a context-
specific and context-sensitive practice? What are the main problems
facing the curatorial education today? Is it possible to prepare curators who
are able to address ever- changing art practices? What role do theories of
curating play in practice? <br></span></font><BR><font size="1"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Courier New'">These are some of the questions we would like
to discuss within the framework of AICA-Armenia’s annual curatorial program,
focusing on the intersection of curatorial education, theories and practices.
<br>
<br>
The 4th edition of the Summer Seminars’ Program for Contemporary Art Curators
entitled Towards Collaborative Curating: Contemporary Art in the Age of the
Global Art Market brings together art curators, theorists and academics, who
are involved in the ongoing theoretical and practical issues of researching and
finding adequate methods and modules for curatorial education and practice. The
week-long seminars are comprised of lectures, round-table discussions and
public presentations. <br>
