>>During Art Amsterdam/KunstRAI Foundation IZA presents, in close
>>collaboration with several curtural institutes, the Close
>>Connection 2006 programme. Over 22 international curators and art
>>critics are invited to the Dutch capital. During their stay they
>>give presentations and join debates: o.a. discussions in SMBA,
>>Maison Descartes, SMCS op 11 and De Appel.
>>
>> The discussion will present examples of a context-constructivist
>>mode of curating, and open up the forum into a discussion about the
>>amount of artistic interference inherent in such a practice, as
>>well as the ongoing curatorial colonisation of artistic strategy. A
>>group have been brought together to elucidate on experience and
>>propose the pitfalls of such an approach. Invited are Alexis
>>Vaillant who curated with Alex Farquharson 'Le Voyage Interieur' in
>>Paris, 2006; a short sound excerpt by Lonnie van Brummelen, as well
