What Could/Should Curating Do?
Belgrade, Serbia

WCSCD was launched in 2018 as an international curatorial course situated
in a specific, local context framed by its Post-Yugoslav identity, the
Balkans.

After the inaugural pilot year program, we continue to contribute to the
thinking and doing around the curatorial field with an intense,
three-month long program that draws upon the unique local and regional
context as a critical source of knowledge. Simultaneously, this program
also intends to provide insights into the wider international framework
related to exhibition-making practices on both a theoretical and practical
level.

The curriculum for the course includes weekly writing assignments,
presentations, studio visits, institutional visits, lectures, and
mentoring sessions with local and international practitioners. As part of
the program for 2019 a research visit to a different part of the Balkan
region is also being planned.

During the course, participants will develop and propose a collective
exhibition project that will be presented the last month of the
program—or
later—depending on the nature of the project.

The course offers participants the opportunity to meet and learn from many
leading professionals in the field of contemporary curating. The primary
mentors for the course include Luca Lo Pinto (Kunshtalle Wien, Vienna);
Charles Esche (Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven); Zdenka Badovinac (Moderna
Galerija, Ljubljana); Nikita Yingqian Cai (Times Museum, Guangzhou); Ares
Shporta (Lumbardhi Foundation, Prizren); Dan Cameron (New York); Matt
Packer (EVA International, Limerick); Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (Castello
di Rivoli, Turin); and others.

Patrick D. Flores, Artistic Director of the 2019 Singapore Biennial will
give a kick-off lecture in May of 2019, titled Singapore Biennial 2019:
Some Political Inspirations. The presentation speaks to the method and
conceptual impulse to convene a biennial in Singapore, noting the lively
milieu of contemporary art in Southeast Asia and the ethical demands
involved in evoking this liveliness.
