East Call / Curatorial residency
East Call curatorial residency is an intensive two-week program that looks directly at the roles and responsibilities of curators as mediators between audiences and artists, examines research directions and dissects curatorial experience, expertise. The residency focuses on contemporary curatorial conditions, institutional situations and the understanding of issues affecting contemporary art. East Call aims to foster dialogues on issues surrounding curation and to interrogate what constitutes “the curatorial” in the Central European region.
The Programme is designed for emerging curators and students who expect to work in the field of contemporary art. https://www.easttopics.com/east-call
