Konstepidemin welcomes you to an open seminar with intenational curators, in which the curatorial role is the main topic. Considering Art’s ever changing focus, what are the most significant areas of conflict for the curator?

While considering the external social and political pressures within society, how can the curatorial practice be developed and be stimulating to both the art scene and society at large? This year’s GIBCA’s theme (secularity) will also be discussed in connection to the seminar. Additional areas of focus may also be introduced by the participating residency curators.

Paticipant residency curators: Aliaxey Talstou (Belarus), Jacquelyn Davis (USA), Giselle Seung Hee. Lee (South Korea), Anna Jensen (Finland), Rowan Geddis (England), 

Invited expertise: Annika Lundgren (Artist, former Professor in Fine Arts at Akademin Valand) and Love Jönsson (Freelancing Curator)

Moderator: Stina Östberg (Artist, Curator, Organizer)

The seminar is arranged by Konstepidemin in Gothenburg in conjunction with a residency for international curators. During a few intense days, Konstepidemin will create a meeting place where the participating  curators will put their individual work as a curator into perspective and come together to reflect upon the role and expression of the curator. The residency is hosted during Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA) and GIBCA Extended and will include lectures, performances, food, mingles, exhibitions and discussions.
