Hi CRUMB list
apologies for interrupting again.
I have had a few inquiries from people wondering if we are doing
anything like this Curatorial Masterclass Series in the UK in the
future (or indeed elsewhere than at Eyebeam). The shorts answer is
no, but we'd like to! While Eyebeam is our international research
partner until June 2010, hence hosting the masterclasses there, we
are keeping busy with other outputs of the research grant, so mark
your calendars for:
* ISEA 2009 in Belfast the 27th, 28th, 29th of August. These sessions
are not masterclasses but are more like the dialogic events we've
hosted at previous ISEAs (San Jose 2006 and Singapore 2008) and
Futuresonic 08. More information coming soon!
* A conference at the AND (Abandon Normal Devices) Festival at FACT
in Liverpool on the 24th of September 2009. This is in partnership
with Dr. Charlie Gere at the University of Lancaster, and will look
at curating time-based art. Again, more information forthcoming.
* Participation in a masterclass about curating and biotech art
organised by ANAT - the Australian Network for Art and Technology -
in Melbourne on the 25th and 26th November 2009, just before Re:Live.
This is also in partnership with Amanda McDonald Crowley from
Eyebeam, but is an ANAT event in which we are participating rather
than a CRUMB-organised event as the above two are.
* We're also working on some events here in the Northeast as part of
the AV Festival 2010 next March, based on our successful work with
them in the past - we'll let you know about those in due course also.
As usual, all our events will be well documented on the CRUMB site,
so although you might not be able to attend in New York, Belfast,
Liverpool or Melbourne... you'll be able to read about them, and get
all the info the local participants get. Meantime, please feel free
to continue to suggest ideas for events, or things you'd like to see
CRUMB doing.
cheers
sarah

> An initiative of Eyebeam's Summer School program, the Curatorial
> Masterclass Series will be led by Eyebeam Research Partner Sarah
> Cook from CRUMB, the online resource for curators working with
> media art, and Eyebeam's inaugural Curatorial Fellow in 2008. The
> series will be an opportunity for emerging and established curators
> of art to get together within a focused period of time to learn
> from each other's practice, and to develop understanding of new
> media art, open source methods, and working in the public domain,
> within the wider fields of art and cultural production.
>
> Through filmed discussions with guests such as Steve Dietz, Patrick
> Lichty, and Eyebeam Executive Director Amanda McDonald Crowley, the
> Curatorial Masterclass Series will examine themes such as: What
> open source is and what it means for art - Fair use, copyright, and
> the role of publication and documentation in curatorial practice -
> Collaborations and international networks - Working in the public
> domain - Evaluation and getting to know your audiences.
>
> The Curatorial Masterclass Series will take place on Tuesday and
> Thursdays from 3-5pm, from July 7th - July 21st. The first hour of
> each session will be a formal conversation modeled on CRUMB's tea-
> time chats, and will feature established curators and artists. The
> second hour will be a rigorous participant driven discussion,
> building upon the first hour's themes and insights.
>
> Following each presentation and workshop, participants will have
> the opportunity to stick around for "beer o'clock" and
> conversations with presenters and fellow masterclass participants,
> as well as participants from other Eyebeam Summer School programs.
>
> Registration will be strictly limited. Please email stephanie [at]
> eyebeam [dot] com for further details.
