Eyebeam Summer School: Curatorial Masterclass
An initiative of Eyebeam's Summer School program, the Curatorial Masterclass will be led by Eyebeam research partner Sarah Cook from CRUMB, the online resource for curators working with media art. 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 a greater understanding of curating, open source methods, and working in the public domain.
Through filmed discussions and intimate workshops the Curatorial Masterclass will examine themes such as:
What open source is and what it means for art
How do practices prevalent in the open source community match up against curatorial paradigms in the visual arts? What is the difference between curatorial openness, working in the public domain or releasing work under a public license? How can we learn about curating and commissioning via platforms which engage audiences or encourage participation? Defining useful metaphors and discarding hyperbolic buzzwords will be encouraged.
Guests: Curator, Scott Burnham (Creative Director, Montreal Biennial 2009); Dominic Smith (co-founder, Polytechnic, UK)
Eyebeam Respondant: Fred Beneson (Eyebeam Research Associate; Product Manager, Creative Commons)
