ART DUBAI AND SHARJAH BIENNIAL
16 MARCH - 20 MARCH 2009
CURATING IN THE MIDDLE EAST
In partnership with the Sharjar Biennial and Tate, the ICF will
continue its exploration of the emerging positions on contemporary
curatorial practice through a week-long series of workshops for
emerging contemporary art curators from the Middle East region. The
programme will bring together 7 curators from across the region, from
the Maghreb, North Africa, the Gulf, Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan
together with 6 curators from the UK to participate together in a
programme of intensive workshops over a week in March 2009. 6 Bursary
places are available!
The programme will take place in Sharjah and Dubai, timed to coincide
with Art Dubai and the Sharjah Biennial between Monday 16 March and
Friday 20 March 2009. In addition to the published programme of events
surrounding the launch of Art Dubai and Sharjah Biennial, participants
will take part in a programme of workshops taking place every day
during that week.
The programme of workshops will focus on three key areas: -
Commissioning artists and artworks –the process of commissioning
artists and artworks from concept to realisation. - Building
institutions – from building capital infrastructure to developing an
organisation's intellectual capital. - Dialogue and exchange – the
relationships between institutions and audiences, between the private
and the 'public' sectors and between the national and international.
The programme will be led by David A Bailey, Paul Domela, Axel Lapp,
Gilane Tawadros and Mark Waugh with contributions from other
international curators and arts professionals. Our group of Middle
Eastern Curators is made possible with the support of the World
Collections Fund.
