Central London
In 2020 this course will run for the 7th year. Past course attendees have included curators from Hong Kong, Bahrain, India, USA, Canada, Austria, The Netherlands, Greece, Ireland, France and the UK. See also Course blog and flickr.
This intensive week-long course in London is aimed at curators, exhibition organisers, educators and others working with contemporary art. The course will critically examine how contemporary curating can best match contemporary art practices, including practices that might be collaborative, or participatory. Since new media including social networking, augmented reality and open source have changed thinking on how art works in time and space, this course aims to update professional knowledge in the field. The local, national and international contexts of curating are rigourously examined.
Visits to discuss with curators at organisations will include:
Tate
V&A
The Photographers' Gallery
Somerset House
and previous years have included:
Iniva
Wellcome Collection
Furtherfield
ODI (Open Data Institute)
Museum of London
Machines Room
