CONJUNCTIONS OF CURATING AND ART EDUCATION
international symposium
October 21-22, 2015 in Café Berlinka, Slovak National Gallery, Bratislava, Námestie Ľudovíta Štúra 4
October 23, 2015 in “Sklenofka” Space, Trnava, Trhová 2
The symposium is organized by the Department of Art Education at the Trnava University, Trnava in collaboration with tranzit.sk and the Slovak National Gallery, Bratislava. Concluding discussion will be held in Trnava within the experimental, process-based exhibition ADD-SHARE-LEARN organized by teachers and students from the Department of Art Education at the Trnava University, Trnava.
The international symposium CONJUNCTIONS OF CURATING AND ART EDUCATION examines new approaches within contemporary art curating significantly merged with (art) education. Here the education is not considered secondary (additional to the exhibition) but a part of the curatorial strategy or theme. We are interested in a kind of „curatorialisation of education“ which often provides an innovative, more effective model of learning related not to a general audience, but to diverse communities. Our aim is to discuss different possibilities within realized projects successfully merging curating with education, to explore innovative approaches of "expanded curating" as well as education as art projects.
We want to ask questions how rapidly changing museum culture, new exhibition formats and artist´s projects can contribute to alternative learning processes in our societies and fit into local needs. The symposium concentrates on recent methods and effective practices revolving around three topics/sections:
• education through art
• curatorialisation of education
• education of art education.
Curators, educators, artists and students from Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia are going to share experiences in curatorial /educational thought. Our aim has been to bring together specialists from several fields - museum and university, curators and educators in art spaces, as well as teachers from art history, curatorial studies, art education departments and artists.
The symposium will be in English.
