Special GuestsThe Curatorial Roundtable
January-May 2024
| |
We enter the year 2024 under the weight of immense division, nation-state violence, the threat that the historical moment of liberal democracy has run its course and a brutal bureaucratic despotism now gains sway. Practices of resistance and resilience rise now in the face of what we already contend with and what is to come. The crises of societal strife present the prospects of creative friction, of reframing, possibility, alternative, of differentiated voices against the will of monolithic force. And here among the figures of creative practices that enunciate their private freedoms and public acts of demonstration are the curator and the curatorial task.
The Curatorial Roundtable has long been a record of this creativity, of strategic encounters with social duress, as well as the sheer celebratory nature of organizing, interpreting, and facilitating the visions of artists, of being with them as makers, thinkers, even at times predictors, agitators as well as offerers of comfort. The task of the curator is to bring into relief the complex challenges of recognition and reciprocity that artistic practices and actions within the spheres of human and nonhuman life provoke.
And so, in this time, we offer once again the voices of curators joining us from across the globe to share their work, to give us ideas about making and doing----an atlas of approaches to curating and, in small ways, local ways, constitutive of refreshed constituencies, of how, possibly, to remake our gestures and intricacies of being if only for a moment. More than 100 curators have spoken in the Curatorial Roundtable, presenting the kaleidoscopic character of what it means to curate. Now, from January to May, here are the new speakers we welcome. Please join us to witness their work and thoughts.----Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair, MA Curatorial Practice
