Online Course: Innovative Approaches to Curating

The Node Center for Curatorial Studies in Berlin, an art organization focused on curatorial practice, is offering an online course entitled "Expanding Exhibitions: Innovative Approaches to Curating". Led by independent curator Lauren Reid, the course will be held between 11 March and 1 April 2015. This course will explore interesting strategies in exhibition-making and ways of thinking about curating by sharing a wide variety of innovative curatorial approaches that are designed to inspire. Expanding Exhibitions is for emerging and established curators who want to open up ways of thinking about their practice from the white cube and beyond. This 4-week course will track significant moments in curatorial history and stimulating case studies, but rather than covering the field chronologically, it will instead focus on key themes and debates within exhibition-making such as the role of the curator, working with time-based media, exhibiting outside the art space and thinking globally. It will cross both inventive exhibition strategies as well as curatorial ethics that will provide opportunity for lively debate and the sharing of ideas between each other each week. The course includes a weekly live video-conference, the recording of which is also available to participants later in case they cannot follow it live. Sessions are held in English. Organisers estimate that 3 hours of learning per week should be devoted to the course. The application deadline is 8 March.
