Curatorial and Critical Writing Workshops



Between October 2013 and March 2014, SBC will be offering its first six-month programs of curatorial workshops and critical writing workshops.

 

 

Curatorial Workshop

Fall-Winter 2013/14

 

Making Things Public

 

With four meetings per month, the program is designed to offer 10 participants the opportunity to meet over a sustained period of time with a group of peers in order to discuss and develop individual projects; to explore theoretical and practical questions as they relate to curatorial work; and to visit and critically reflect upon exhibitions and other cultural events as they occur in the city.

 

Participants will be expected to attend all sessions and should be prepared to formally present their own projects and analyse colleagues' projects. All participants should provide, in advance, any relevant theoretical or other texts they see as important to further discussion and should read all materials provided by others.

 

The workshop will be led by SBC Director/Curator Pip Day.
