Hello CRUMB list Apologies for interrupting the conversation. I just realized we hadn't properly announced that CRUMB is organising a series of curatorial masterclasses with our research partner Eyebeam in New York coming up next month! http://eyebeam.org/events/summer-school-curatorial-masterclass-series The full schedule will be announced next week, but for now, here is the teaser: ---- 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. ---- Therefore, I'll be in New York for three weeks in July and would love to meet up with any of you at any of these or Eyebeam's other events. Cheers Sarah
