Gallerist Master Course 2020. Module I: Anna Goetz. Curatorial Practice and Decolonial Discourse

October 5 – 6, from 2.30 to 6pm

 

Contemporary art is global as much as local. It echoes local issues symptomatic of global dynamics. Its organization, however, is defined by institutionalized structures of power and constructs of thinking shaped by modernity and colonization. In the seminar, we will critically analyze different exhibitions or initiatives that try to deconstruct these institutionalized, hierarchical readings and include alternative narratives – this means handing over authority and giving the floor to other voices in order to involve their perspectives and individual experiences. Furthermore, we will openly discuss projects and approaches of our own, and thus, critically reflect on our positions within the art world infrastructure.

 

This seminar is in English.
