Founded in 1987, the independent curatorial training program, the  
École du Magasin, was set up to provide a professional environment for  
a rigorous combination of research and practice. Since its inception,  
emphasis has been placed on the exhibition as an open platform in  
which different fields or strategies of representation can be drawn  
upon. The École encourages various curatorial approaches that include  
not only how a project takes form but also how aesthetics can be  
combined with the aim of providing information; how to take into  
account and integrate newly developed network cultures and technology;  
how a curatorial project can be understood in a given context; and,  
finally, how an exhibition can express the identity of a collective  
and the cohesiveness of a group project.

The conception and production of a collective curatorial project,  
presented in public, is a constant aim. Each session lasts nine  
months, from October to early July, and is divided into two stages:  
from the establishment of a framework and a collective working method,  
to the production of the final curatorial project. Both stages require  
their specific form of advisory and pedagogical frameworks that the  
École manages in relation with the project advisor, guest lecturers  
and field visits.

The program has two objectives: Firstly, to complete the academic  
training of the participants by presenting them with theoretical and  
practical knowledge, and by introducing them to other cultures.  
Secondly, lead the participants into the professional world through  
direct contact with its actors and through the analysis of curatorial  
practice.

The École du Magasin is an independent training program. Course  
completion does not grant university credit or a diploma. Participants  
are not required to pay tuition fees, but must assume their own living  
expenses.
