Additional open call for Garage Teens Team

Date

5 OCT 2017

Garage Museum announces additional open call for the Teens Team program—an educational project for young people aged 15 to 18. During the course, participants study how a museum operates, and develop their own projects with the help from Garage’s leading workers and educators.

Teens Team program applicants should do one of the two test assignments on offer and submit it by December 12, 2017 to teensteam@garagemca.org, indicating their full name, age and study grade or course in the letter, and the number of the chosen assignment in the subject field. 

Test assignment 1

Please write a curatorial text accompanying a project you would like to realize at Garage Museum of Contemporary Art for audiences of your age (no longer than 1,500 characters including spaces).


Test assignment 2

Please design a poster for a project you would like to realize at Garage Museum of Contemporary Art for audiences of your age.


Participation in the Garage Teens Team program is free of charge.

The classes begin on October 19, 2017 and will take place on Thursdays at 18:30 and on Saturdays at 16:00 in the Museum space. 

Garage Teens Team is a community of high-school and first-year university students, enrolled every other year since 2013 as part of the Museum’s professional program aimed at engaging young audiences in artistic processes and the life of a contemporary museum. Over the period of two years, each group of teenagers study contemporary art theory and practice, and museum work formats, by actively participating in Garage’s activities and completing each year with their own thematic projects. 

Since its launch, Garage Teens Team’s achievements have included the 2014 edition of Art Experiment, conceiving their own game-based architectural installation, the first research project—The Moscow Art Map: Our Scale—premiered in May 2014, a Film Club within the Art 21 Museum film program; Teens Talk—tours of Russian Performance: A Cartography of its History; the exhibition project The Sixties: Points of Intersection, which explored the 1960s through the team members’ family histories; The Steps—a series of public events exploring the issues that young people think about when it comes to art and the Quest The 1990s: Examining the Archive through Play.
