CreArt OPEN CALL ,,SEMINAR FOR CURATORS” IN SKOPJE 2019
03,04 and 05 October
The art galleries and their work with local artists
Through the exploration of local art practices, in a joint interdisciplinary discursive thinking, followed by exhibiting examples, we will try to locate the local or globally recognizable contextual and artistic conditions in which art thought is generated.
Main points of problematization
- Art between words - After the dialogue
- Local artistic practices, local or global conditions
- Contextualization of artistic production
- Defining types of exhibitions, independent, group, retrospective, engaged art – what does it mean for curator?
