THE COURSE FOR CURATORS OF CONTEMPORARY ART
Presentation of the course/ course participants / study excursions / program collaborators / exhibition / co-workers and funders

STUDY EXCURSIONS

As an important part of the course for curators of contemporary art the study excursions take place twice a year in the form of four-day trip to two European cities/countries (as a rule one is chosen from the 'West' and the other from the 'East'). They aim to give an insight into the art system as well as the artistic scene and production in a selected country. The program is formed in co-operation with local partners and encompasses as wide scope as possible: from discussions with curators of state institutions to visits of public spaces and alternative art centres and commercial galleries. The program also comprises discussions with artists and curators as well as lectures and round tables on a specific subject.
