Art reflection »On« - On individual curator vs. institutionalized curator

Wednesday 30/04/2008 at 7pm, Kibla - the fourth event in Petra Kapš curator project Art reflection »On« - On individual curator vs. institutionalized curator.

Guests: Maja Škerbot and Beti Žerovc

A discursive event confronted the positions and views of individual curators and curators employed by art institutions. The discussion exposed working conditions, motivations, ways and possibilities to work with artists and other curators. The talk focused on understanding the agents of activity, ways of entering contemporary art, establishing the context of presentation and distribution of artistic production, on topical issues within contemporary art from the viewpoint of curators.
Key terms: curator / institution / artist / status

The Art reflection »On« curator project focuses on the reflection and research of topical issues and themes, contained and addresses by contemporary art. Promoting and keeping track of artistic production, establishing meaningful, systemic and sociopolitical contexts, verifying possible interpretation models, seeking and creating new media and environments for distribution, transfer and circulation of information, opening up spaces in which art is happening, as well as analysis of individual artistic terms and concepts are issues to be included in the Art reflection »On«. By establishing the conditions and options for each event to be open (experimental), the way for an interdisciplinary approach of discussion and realization is being paved; individual situations as well as the integral project will be made up of artistic and discursive presence.
Key terms: art / artist / curator / critic / reflection / interpretation / discussion / context / on
