In thеsе series of presentations, different curatorial role models and exhibition formats will be discussed and related to the ever-expanding institutional expectations.
Many declare the traditional understanding of ‘curator’ obsolete. The contemporary curator is expected to be anthropologist, sociologist, interventionist, facilitator and performer, to name just a few. In lieu of a conventional curatorial model, institutions choose various role-descriptions, for example ‘convener’. A convener is supposed to establish an assembly of artists, cultural producers and other intellectuals to address possible futures rather than simply summarize or diagnose present conditions. The curator can become an ‘eventer’ for large scale projects directly engaging with the public. In thеsе series of presentations, different curatorial role models and exhibition formats will be discussed and related to the ever-expanding institutional expectations.
Moderators: Gleb Napreenko (Art Chronika Magazin), Andrey Parshikov (curator / art critic, Moscow)
The discussion will take place at Artplay design center (Nizhnyaya Syromyatnicheskaya st., 10)
