A Paradigm Shift:
Curating & Exhibition Making in the Age of Continuous Mediation

Instructor: Misal Adnan Yıldız with Guests Date & Time: Sundays, August 16, 23, 30, September 6, 13, 20, 27, October 4 11 AM - 1:30 PM ET

DESCRIPTION: Is it possible to define curatorial practice today without extending its horizons through rethinking the educational, institutional and also the paracuratorial? How will the brief history of curating evolve into future? Do current forms of mediation and negotiation in the art world really function for diverse audiences? Bringing the recent roles attributed to “the curator” such as an activist, comrade or educator, this Survey Seminar engages critical methodologies from leading curatorial research and practices. Firstly as a mental space for thinking through and together with artistic practices, curating is not only a dramaturgical setting in the sense of a spatial and conceptual staging of artworks and their interconnectedness, but also a series of audience-engaged, discursive processes aimed to connect to the larger real of social. As A series of conversations, the Seminar will focus on the questions of curating and exhibition making as an extended field for new publics. Moderated by Misal Adnan Yıldız, it will connect significant collaborations, networks and projects with shared commonalities of ethics, community, collectivity and political agenda in the field.
