About the project ATOM2<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

ATOM2<\/sup> project focuses on training future curators, cultural critics and journalists, the organization of their interaction, to exchange their best practices and experiences and to publishing their work. It offers a methodology, curriculum modules and support for future curators, cultural critics and journalists on reflecting on contemporary art so that it would no longer be a misunderstood phantom, but it would become commonplace in the mindset of the general public.<\/p>\n

With partners from Switzerland and associated partners from Slovenia we will investigate, record, analyze and evaluate the curatorial and critical practices in both places, which will affect the development of necessary mechanisms of the art world. It is also important to have one of our target groups consist of prospective curators and critics, which, already in the process of learning, we will equip with key skills and methods on how to responsibly tackle the complex issues in contemporary art. Thus, the effects will be disseminated and will reflect through their future actions. With our associated partners from Slovenia we will prepare the environment for fruitful networking of students who will have access to the each-other’s art scene, giving them the capability to produce more objective perspective on their own situation at home. At the same time they will participate in opening and analysis of key issues in the field of curatorial and critical practices. We will put examples of good practice on display in the mini series of lectures that will be addressed to the general public, and will bring in the testimonials of experts from Slovenia and Switzerland, who will present examples of good practice, while putting them in a broader context.<\/p>\n

We will reach even wider. Internet Magazine Special Issue On.Curating<\/a> (otherwise the work of our Swiss partners), which focuses on issues of curatorial practice and theory, will intervene at the intersection of related topics of both cultural areas (Slovenia and Switzerland) and will thus not only present examples of good practice, but also place them in the broader theoretical framework. Anthology The dilemma of curatorial practice<\/em>, implies completion of a systematic and applied work on filling big gaps in the theoretical treatment of contemporary art issues, with particular reference to socially conscious and urban projects. It brings wider applicability and provides referance \u2013 permanent usefulness in study and practical applications and uses. This is a publication of results of systematic work, which includes both the artists and theorists, and which will be practically useful for both the artistic and educational institutions and to the wider reading audience interested in contemporary art. Journal and Anthology will open, explore and develop many key topics that will remain one of the key materials for future researchers, curators, critics, theorists in the field of art and social practices as well as general audience merely interested in contemporary art.<\/p>\n
