DESCRIPTION
The focus of this course is on the theory and practice of curatorial work in cultural institutions, independent art spaces and galleries, with a preliminary focus on curating contemporary art. Reading and discussion of selected texts as well as series of lectures on contemporary institutional and curatorial approaches will provide the participants with an overview of current issues, trends and possibilities. A part of the course will also be based on personal meetings with curators and art theoreticians active on the Prague art scene and discussions of their practice. During the course, each student will continuously work on developing his or her own exhibition project proposal and looking into all the major aspects of curatorial work: research, artist and venue selection, working with the gallery space, with existing and newly commissioned artworks, exhibition architecture, texts, accompanying programs etc. The projects will be widely discussed during the semester and presented in the end both in a verbal presentation and written form accompanied by visual documentation.
