CuratorLab is a 1-year international curatorial course directed by Joanna Warsza at Konstfack University with close affiliation to Tensta Konsthall.
Curatorial course for professionals in Arts, Crafts, Design & Architecture.
“The curatorial training is slowly becoming accepted as a new tradition within the field, even if that acceptance is marked by a grudging fatalism similar to the acceptance of global warming, or the Republican Party. There is no denying that it’s here to stay, let’s try to deal with it.”
Tirdad Zolghadr [Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, 2012]
CuratorLab is a unique one-year international curatorial research course. It doesn’t have a fix curriculum and every year it reinvents itself anew around a leading topic, followed by studio visits, seminars, lecture and trips, co-organised together with the participants. We are meeting four times per year for two weeks sessions; therefore you do not need to be based in Stockholm. During CuratorLab are supposed to realize a project in Stockholm in form of a public presentation, i.e. exhibition, lecture, publication, walk, screening; for which we provide professional feedback as well as a moderate production budget (approx. 15 000 SEK).
Next to the individual projects, we work closely as a group with Tensta Konsthall and its director Maria Lind, where we are regularly contributing with the public program to the series of on-going exhibitions under the title 'The Eros Effect Art, Solidarity Movements and the Struggle for Social Justice'.
CuratorLab is open and free to all interested working with and against the ideas of curating and the curatorial, however solid experience, grounded interest and a sense of commitment are necessary.
Deadline for the academic year 2017/2018 is 16 January 2017
