| Young Curators Workshop on the occasion of the 7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art A cooperation between the Goethe-Institut e.V., Munich, Allianz Cultural Foundation, BMW, and the 7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art / KW Institute for Contemporary Art Organized by the Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art / KW Institute for Contemporary Art Applications should arrive by February 29, 2012. Workshop Dates: May 29 – June 6, 2012 Date of Arrival: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 Departure: Wednesday, June 6, 2012 Project description: Berlin is a powerful and attractive hub for artists and young curators from all over the world and thus an extremely vibrant production site for creators of culture. The Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, being held for the seventh time from April 27 till July 1, 2012, will present an embracing recap of these creative energies. The berlin biennial / KW Institute for Contemporary Art in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut e.V., Munich, the Allianz Cultural Foundation, and BMW will take this core event in contemporary art and the reflection of its process of emergence as an occasion to strengthen the initiative of young curators worldwide by organizing a workshop for a group of 10-12 young aspirants in this field. Based on the success of the curatorial workshops held in relation to the 4th, 5th and 6th Berlin Biennale, KW Institute for Contemporary Art decided to continue this idea of exchange between young curators and thus to organize the workshop during the course of the 7th edition. Concept: CURATING IN TIMES OF NEED Curating in Times of Need is dedicated to the core themes of the 7th Berlin Biennale: art and political engagement, substantial change and impact of artistic and curatorial practice in current societies. The questions raised are both simple and relevant: How to do things with art? Does curating offer potential means for a civic response to the current political occupations? How to curate to make something real? Contemporary curating and art production witness the increasing aestheticization whilst turning towards the spectacle, thereby detaching from social processes and limiting curatorial work to the act of managing and presenting art exhibitions. How could curating also be understood as a civic or social practice? And how could this practice become politically and socially relevant, whilst being part of the environment from which it emerges? The nine-day curatorial workshop Curating in Times of Need will analyze this year's Berlin Biennial curatorial mode, topics and projects, as well as a number of case studies by artists or initiatives, performing and practicing context-oriented concrete groundwork. A special focus is placed on the artists’ and curators’ civic responses to the revolutions in the Arab countries, which are recently undergoing significant political, social, economic and cultural changes. Local artists and curators have changed their artistic production but continued using their practices for democratic, non-violent struggles. These strategies will be analyzed with regard to their potential to translate revolution and to re-imagine the future of democracy. A significant number of Arab cultural practitioners will be invited to contribute. Conceived as a meeting point and formational experience for young curators and for young artists or community organizers that have initiated cultural projects, the workshop is intended as a do-and-think tank: a place for knowledge and practice production. The young curators are invited to present their own projects at the first session and to continue to take part in discussion sessions, screenings, and the Berlin Biennial's projects. The participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to learn from recent projects combining curatorial and political practice and debating a set of urgent questions, emerging from the current political circumstances and the pressing need to imagine alternative civil societies utilizing the power of art. Course of Events: 10-12 young international curators will be selected for this workshop. The participants shall carry initial experience in exhibition curating and the group of participants shall ideally be representing a wide variety of countries and continents. Applications must arrive no later than February 29, 2012. In March a jury will then choose 10-12 candidates to participate in the workshop. The selection committee consists of: Joanna Warsza (Associate Curator, 7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art), Gabriele Horn (Director, KW Institute for Contemporary Art / Berlin Biennale), Susanne Pfeffer (Curator, KW Institute for Contemporary Art), Michael Thoss (Managing Director, Allianz Cultural Foundation), Leonhard Emmerling (Head of Visual Arts Division, Goethe-Institut).
