Curating in Context

The two-year-long Erasmus+ project co-organized between two NGOs (Tanzfabrik Berlin and Lokomotiva Skopje), and two Higher Education Institutions (Stockholm University of the Arts and the University of Zagreb) was developed in order to respond to the challenges that the growing influence of the concepts of curating and curatorial pose in the contemporary art field, beyond the sphere of visual arts. The project focuses on creating knowledge and opportunities for students, practitioners, curators, scholars, and cultural workers to critically reflect and address different socio-political and economic contexts, and develop curatorial methods to rethink the practices of performing arts in relation to activism, social movements, and self-organization. During the two years, the project will result in a series of meetings, public events, and various resources that will thematize collaborative learning approaches through curating between politics and policies and valorization of art with the greater goal of manifesting the impact of the cultural and civil sectors on society.
The project “Curating in Context” is supported by Erasmus +, EU programme for education, training, youth, and sport.

Курирање во контекст

Двогодишниот проект Еразмус+ ко-организиран меѓу две невладини организации (Танцфабрик Берлин и Локомотива Скопје) и две високообразовни институции (Стокхолм универзитет за уметности и Универзитет во Загреб, Академија за драмски уметности) беше развиен со цел да одговори на предизвиците со кои се зголемува влијанието на кураторска концепти и кураторската поставеност во областа на современата уметност, надвор од сферата на визуелните уметности. Проектот се фокусира на создавање знаење и можности за студентите, практичарите, кураторите, научниците и културните работници критички да ги рефлектираат и адресираат различните социо-политички и економски контексти и да развиваат кураторски методи за да ги преиспитаат практиките на изведувачките уметности во однос на активизмот, социјалните движења и самоорганизација. Во текот на две години, проектот ќе резултира со серија состаноци, јавни настани и различни ресурси, кои ќе тематизираат пристапи на колаборативни пристапи на учење преку курирање помеѓу политиката и јавните политики и валоризација на уметноста со цел да манифестира зголемено влијание на културниот и граѓанскиот сектор на општеството.
Проектот „Курирање во контекст“ е поддржан од Еразмус +, програма на ЕУ за образование, обука, млади и спорт.

Since 2016 she leads, together with the artist Kajsa Wadhia, Köttinspektionen Dans, an artist-driven platform and place for experimental dance and choreography in Uppsala, Sweden.

Tove has over the last decade been part of various artistic collaborations, such as “The Blob” (initiated by Anna Efraimsson), a curatorial persona exercising and practicing an institutional critique of art, knowledge and beyond, the curatorial collaboration “We happen things” (...

Critical practice for “Curatorial practice in context”

Curating in Context Summer School Struga, Northern Macedonia, August 29 – September 5, 2022   Con-texts: the curatorial, the lake, the writing bodies and bodies of water  Few notes from Struga Summer School / a collective diary of sharing thoughts Anka Herbut, Elena Novakovits, Jette Büchsenschütz, Kasia Wolińska,   Maeve Johnson, Maša Radi Buh Collage by Kasia Wolińska Where is your body now? How does it feel?  Cause my body, for instance, is trying to recall and tune in to the feeling it experienced when the above questions were introduced at the very beginning of the Summer School in Struga. We were sitting on a sunny terrace in a circle, facing each other, trying to return to our bodies in order to feel what we’re coming with, what we could bring into the collective process that was just about to begin, what we were ready (or not) to share. My body came to Struga quite overwhelmed by holidays which actually were not so holidayish, but instead they were rich ...
