Laboratorium of curatorial practices

Suzana Milevska

Curator as a Translator of Theory into Practice 

Workshop in four parts







April 10-13, 2009 

SCCA Project Room, Metelkova 6, Ljubljana

 

Application deadline: April 1, 2009

**************************

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.

 

The workshop will try to give an answer to the
following questions:

- whether theory confines curating or enables more
innovative curatorial models

- 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 

- how the process of translation of various
theoretical, cultural, and artistic concepts into specific projects embrace and
promote the pedagogical and epistemological responsibility

- how to apply theory in curating without giving to it
primary role

- how to intertwine theory and issues that stem out of
everyday life

 

The workshop will be conducted in English (and partly
Serbian).
