Education

CuratorCityLit
- London, United Kingdom
The course gave a brief history of curating and projects which have been curated in and outside gallery or museum spaces (public spaces or with a community, site-specific project...). We discussed how other ideas (e.g. Social, health, conflict) can be curated through contemporary art. We looked at the interpretation of artwork, and how contemporary art can be communicated to a wide audience.
We developed an outline proposal for a curating project: from an initial idea or artists work, to location, communication, talent scouting, fundraising, display, through all the other aspects of an art project organization.
