threewallsSALON: Curating the Turn February 1, 2011

In the first session of the @work SALON series, we explore alternative models of curatorial practice. nvited guests Anna Cerniglia (Johalla Projects), Nicholas Frank (Inova), Aay Preston Myint (No Coast) and Kelly Shindler (Art:21) will help to lead a discussion that asks, what are some boundaries-pushing, interdisciplinary curatorial models that fully embrace all the potential inherent in the role of the creative curator? How has the “educational turn” changed the stakes for independent and institutional curators? How are curators (aspiring or established) responding to, profiting from, or perhaps even ignoring, the academicization of their practice? And what are some thoughtful ways in which curatorial practice is responding to different institutional models, as well as reaching beyond the arts institution, to address activism and politics?
