New approaches to curating the UK \u2013 Early Career Curators Group, December 2017","description":"
The event brings together contributions from curators, writers and academics to investigate what it means to be a curator today. Hosted and programmed by the\u00a0British Art Network<\/a>\u2019s Early Career Curators Group, this seminar will explore a range of ideas about the role of a curator \u2013 from collection-steward to educator; from activist to entrepreneur \u2013 as well as examining how we got here, both through the paths of individual curators, and a broader look at the culture and training methodologies that influence the sector as a whole. The aim of the day is to actively engage with, challenge and rethink the requirements of curating today through break-out sessions and provocations as well as more formal presentations by leading figures in curating.<\/p>\n Speakers include George Vasey, Turner Prize 2017 Curator; Beth Bate, Dundee Contemporary Arts; David Morris, Honorary Research Fellow, The Whitworth; Rachael Minott, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery; Fiona Parry, Turner Contemporary.<\/p>\n The event aims to be relevant for curators at all stages of their career and be an opportunity to have open conversations and learn from each other.<\/p>\n The seminar will present a series of short papers, provocations and breakout sessions followed by a panel discussion and opportunities for networking. Delegates are also invited to visit the\u00a0Turner Prize 2017<\/a>\u00a0exhibition, currently on display at\u00a0Ferens Art Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n The British Art Network Early Career Curators Group is a dedicated group of nine curators specialising in British art, whose members hold positions in affiliated partner organisations around Great Britain and Northern Ireland working alongside Tate.<\/p>\n
