Founded in 1987, the independent curatorial training program, the
École du Magasin, was set up to provide a professional environment
for a rigorous combination of research and practice. Since its
inception, emphasis has been placed on the exhibition as an open
platform that allow for different fields or strategies of
representation to be explored and consequently drawn upon. The École
encourages various curatorial approaches that include not only how a
project takes form but also how aesthetic and didactic strategies can
be combined with the aim of providing information in more
research-driven projects; how to take into account and integrate newly
developed network cultures and technology; how a curatorial project
can be understood in a given context; and finally how an exhibition
can express the specific curatorial working-group process which is
central to the École philosophy.


The conception and production of a collective curatorial project,
presented in public, is a constant aim that is derived from the
pedagogical philosophy. Each session lasts nine months, from October
to early July, and is divided into two stages: from the establishment
of a framework and a collective working method, to the production of
the final curatorial project. Both stages require their specific form
of advisory and pedagogical frameworks that the École manages in
relation with the project advisor, guest lecturers and field visits.


The École du Magasin draws its strength from a wide range of
international participants and advisors in which English serves as the
shared working language. This is aimed at broadening the horizons of
all participants and drawing attention to a larger, shared
contemporary discourse of critical theory and contemporary art.
Through the diversity of cultures and heritages at work together in
the program, the École has developed a unique heterogeneity, further
benefitting the group experience of contemporary enquiry.


APPLICATION
The program is open to candidates who have obtained
the equivalent of a master's degree or who can show relevant
