Reading for workshop on Tuesday 6th February. We will look at some proposed differences between ‘curating’ and ‘the curatorial’ as discussed by Beatrice von Bismarck and Irit Rogoff in Cultures of the Curatorial. They ask what are the different claims made for the exhibition as a space of experimentation, critique, rhetoric or mediation? How do these differences produce different modes of engagement, and differing possibilities for authorship and notions of (curatorial) action? We will consider how some of these ideas might relate to our own practice particularly in the context of the forthcoming degree shows.
