IKT 2020 Virtual Meeting
Sustainable Curating in Corona Times
17./18. October 2020, daily from 15:00 to 18:00
The virtual meeting of exhibition makers from all over the world
gives a foretaste of the international curators’ congress, which has
been postponed until next year due to the pandemic and which the
Kunsthalle Osnabrück is organizing together with Marta Herford and
hase29. Gesellschaft für zeitgenössische Kunst.
The online event deals with questions like: How did curators deal
with the corona-induced closures of museums and art institutions
worldwide? What impact does the pandemic have on curating exhibitions
today and in the future? Does the art business have to rethink in order
to do justice to the principles of sustainability itself? And what
alternatives are there to traditional institutional exhibitions? IKT
members from Afghanistan, Australia, Colombia, Cuba, Finland, Great
Britain, Israel, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Slovakia and the USA will report
on their experiences, present practices that have proven their worth in
recent months and discuss with the invited guest speakers and
participants how a sustainable curatorial practice could look like in
the future.
With contributions from: Till Briegleb (journalist and author),
Thomas Oberender (Berliner Festspiele), Lucia Pietroiusti (Serpentine
Galleries) and Farid Rakun/ruangrupa (documenta fifteen).
The detailed programme of the IKT 2020 Virtual Meeting can be found here.
With the kind support of the Kultursekretariat NRW Gütersloh and the Detmold District Government.
