Curatorial Issue….

 

    Curation may refer to:

• Digital curation, the preservation and maintenance of digital assets

• The work performed by a curator

• Archiving, historical record keeping

The history of curation returns to techniques which used by Marcel Duchamp in 1938 ,Surrealism International Exhibition in Paris .These techniques were simple and clever tricks for immediate impact, intense and strange that Duchamp needed them to exhibit Surrealists Artwork in outside of the museum space and common traditional academic system.

Curator

A curator (from Latin: curare meaning “take care”) is a manager or overseer. Traditionally, a curator or keeper of a cultural heritage institution (e.g., gallery, museum, library or archive) is a content specialist responsible for an institution’s collections and involved with the interpretation of heritage material. The object of a traditional curator’s concern necessarily involves tangible objects of some sort, whether it be artwork, collectibles, historic items or scientific collections. More recently, new kinds of curators are emerging ; curators of digital data objects and biocurators.

Gallery Curator And Artwork

Artists who decide to organize an exhibition must first submit a curatorial proposal to a gallery. Your curatorial proposal will outline the concept of the exhibition, and all information regarding it. The concept should be unique and offer a new perspective on a subject. This is an opportunity to collaborate with other artists, and requires you to know your audience and the gallery.

Play as a Curator…

Actually we as an artist need to know how to show our works in better and special view or position according to our place and propose .So in this subject we decided to have some experience around this.

 

Activity : Space visit in LEG library ;

Proforma :

Date : July 7, 2014

Time : 3:30 PM – 4:00 PM

location : LEG library

And this is it’s plan :

Suggestions :

This space located in our library but it separated by door and windows.It is totally empty and hasn’t good and enough walls to put artwork,Also it hasn’t too much light from outside,So I suggest to put some temporary walls and special light for each position.It’ll help us to have more separate spaces and will add emotion to the place.We can also cover windows to use them as wall and also we can manage light better.
