Dear List, As promised yesterday when I posted my notes from "Curating can be learned, but can it be taught?", here are three more digested questions that List members could perhaps help to answer. 1. Previous posts have debated differences in education for freelance or institutional curators, but this event has pointed out that neither one is necessarily more radical or alternative, because freelance curators need to be more 'careerist' and 'visible'. So, are there other 'models' of curating which might be more suitable for new media in particular? Barnaby Drabble describes himself a "co-producer", (and Benjamin Weil also describes himself a "producer" <http://www.crumbweb.org/crumb/phase3/iweil.htm>). Is this a good model? (Models of Curation were also discussed as a Theme on this List in March 2003.) 2. Are certain models and tools more likely to produce a truly dialogic form of curating education? Being a 'co-producer' infers more people being active in the dialogue, whilst models such as student-produced learning materials, and technological tools such wikis could be argued to be inherently dialogic structures. What tools do you use for dialogue? 3. Do students have to do curate exhibitions in order to learn curating? Yours, Beryl -- _________________________________________________________ Beryl Graham Tel: +44 191 515 2896 email: [log in to unmask] Curatorial Resource for Upstart Media Bliss http://www.crumbweb.org
