WORLD OF ART
\nLaboratorium of Curatorial Practices
\nSeason 11: 2007\/08<\/p>\n

Seminar \u2013 Workshop No.3<\/p>\n

11th – 12th February, 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\n\n
\nThe frequent and successful presence of collaborative curatorial teams today on the international art scene come as no surprise when taking into account the evident shift in artistic practices from individual towards collaborative and participatory projects, or towards community research based activism. Pairs, couples, trios, collectives, elected teams and other form of collaborative groups became an inevitable part in most of the international art projects. Collaborative Curating<\/strong> will attempt on both promoting and questioning the new collaborative curatorial formats and other open models of professional interaction among curators. Is collaboration only a newly developed tool that is frequently used in the highly competitive field of curating as a pragmatic means or is it a theoretically justified practice? <\/p>\n

Starting from the deconstruction of various concepts of authorship and moving towards various constructive concepts of collectivism and Starting from the deconstruction of various concepts of authorship and moving towards various constructive concepts of collectivism and community as a tool for agency of social change the workshop pondered in the challenges of collaboration. Collaborative Curating workshop<\/strong> focused on both justifying and questioning the potentiality of collaboration in theoretical and practical terms. The project contributed towards developing of new kinds of curatorial knowledge while reflecting on intersubjectivity, communitarianism<\/em> or multitude<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Collaborative Curating<\/strong> was concipied as a two day workshop consisted of series of differently structured discussions on collaboration. Especially important was the focus on application of critical thinking exercises by putting a particular emphasis on the assignments: <\/p>\n

a) to evaluate exhibitions\u2019 proposals by contextualising them in contemporary theoretical frameworks
\nb) to conceptualise a real space curatorial projects.<\/p>\n

The experiment of making a project designed especially for a chosen real space located in other city at the same time united and combined interdisciplinary skills of all participants and enabled the potentiality for remote curatorial collaboration<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, February 11th<\/strong><\/p>\n

10.00-11.30 Introduction: Collective Curatorial Body<\/strong>
\nThe staring theoretical point of this workshop is Jean-Luc Nancy\u2019s warning that we forgot the importance of being-together<\/em>, being-in-common<\/em> and belonging<\/em> and that we live our present time without relations<\/em>. We discussed the philosophical concept of ‘being singular plural<\/em>‘ as it is formulated by Nancy. His concept of being is always already being with. According to him being<\/em> always entails “with<\/em>” as an inevitable conjunction that links different singularities. Nancy goes as far as saying that \u2018there is no \u201cself\u201d except by virtue of a \u201cwith,\u201d which, in fact, structures it.\u2019 In order to attain this knowledge and the praxis of \u201cwe\u201d according to Nancy it is important to understand the aporia of intersubjectivity: that \u201cwe\u201d is not a subject in terms of self-identification, neither is that \u201cwe\u201d composed of always the same subjects or components. <\/p>\n

11.30 – 12.00 Break<\/p>\n

12.00 – 13.00 Discussion<\/strong>
\nThe participants divided in two groups tried to develop argumentative debate in favour of either individual or collective curating. <\/p>\n

14.30 \u2013 15.30 Presentation of particular collaborative projects<\/strong>
\nBesides the introductory presentation of the workshop leader to the internationally known collaborative curatorial practices, the participants were also expected to present local collaborative projects from their own context that they attended or curated.<\/p>\n

15.30-16.00 Break<\/p>\n

16.00-17.30 Evaluation of two collaborative projects\u2019 proposals<\/strong>

.<\/div>\n

Tuesday, February 12th<\/strong><\/p>\n

Morning session: <\/p>\n

Collaborative work<\/strong>

\nParticipants were divided in two groups and each of the groups proposed a new original format of collaborative curating (exhibition, conference, network, TV show, publication, etc.)<\/p>\n

Afternoon session:<\/p>\n
