>Summer Seminars for Art Curators
>Between Exposition and Mediation
>July 23-August 7, 2007,  Yerevan, Armenia
>
>After successfully completing and summarizing the
>results of the first international summer school for
>art curators organized in July 4-17, 2006 in Yerevan,
>Armenia, the National Association of Art Critics
>(AICA-Armenia) now intends to further develop the
>program focusing on partnership and networking with
>regional actors in the field of art criticism and
>curating.
>
>The 2007 summer seminars and the workshop for art
>curators will center on the relation of the art critic
>and curator on the one hand and curator-artist on the
>other, in the face of globalization/westernization of
>the art market and big exhibitions; i. e. biennales,
>art fairs and festivals as one of the outcomes of
>these processes that have penetrated into former
>socialist countries since the mid-1990’s.  The
>program will focus on curating as a critical practice,
>and particularly, the curator as someone who combines
>the management of relations (artist-curator,
>artist-critics, artist-society) with the function of
>evaluation.  We will discuss  historically and
>culturally unique art events and practices where the
>curator combining the roles of a presenter and a
>critic has chosen different strategies of
>representation on the one hand and communication on
>the other in order to serve as a mediator between the
>artist and the audience.
>
>The intensive two-week program to be held in July
>23-August 7, Yerevan, Armenia will comprise of a
>theory and method courses, as well as a curatorial
>workshop.  The courses will be combined with
>presentations by local and international artists,
>curators, art historians and cultural workers as well
>as with visits to artists’ studios, art centers,
>galleries and museums in Yerevan.
>
>The program is organized in cooperation with
>SCCA-Ljubljana, Soros Center of Contemporary Art in
>Alma-Aty and BM Center for Contemporary Art in
>Istanbul.
>
>The deadline for submitting applications is April 15,
>2007.
