Reminder: call for applications de Appel Curatorial Programme 2008/2009

  PROGRAMME 2008/2009: Curating in the expanded field

  Application deadline: 7th of March 2008

  Initiated in 1994 by Saskia Bos, the Curatorial Programme of Arts Centre
de Appel wishes to offer young curators a condensed package of
experiences and skills that can be used as tools and instruments during
the further development of their professional career. De Appel is an
internationally oriented arts centre located in Amsterdam that functions
as a site for the production of performances, research and presentation
of contemporary visual arts through a series of exhibitions,
publications and discursive events.

  In September 2006, a remodelled version of the eight-month long
Curatorial Programme was launched with a renewed curriculum and an
extended tutorial team. It encompasses a dense array of theoretical
seminars, thematic workshops, field trips in Europe and Asia,
practice-related assignments and encounters with artists and art
professionals. Throughout the programme attention is paid to the history
of exhibition-making, diverse curatorial practices, collection -and
institution building and project management. The unique and special
thematic focus is on the polarity between free-lance  and
institutional curating and on the examination of context-responsive
curating. The programme explores through which formats and methodologies
curators deal with the presentation of art in the expanded field
outside of the white cube.

  This focus culminates in a site-specific curatorial assignment: the
participants of the course are invited to investigate a specific area
(in 2006/2007 this was the Amsterdam suburb de Bijlmer and in 2007/2008
the satellite city Leidsche Rijn near Utrecht) and realise a project
that relates to this site in a direct or indirect way. Through inviting
the participants to work off-site de Appel challenges the curators to
reflect upon the current status and problematics of art in (sub)urban
public space and to reflect upon the different ways in which art
functions in processes of urban renewal/generation. Throughout the
process the relationship with the mother institutionis maintained
while at the same time being interrogated.

  The following parts of the programme are considered to be of vital
importance:

  -          The opportunity to research theoretical issues and
developments in regular sessions with a tutorial team consisting e.g. of
de Appel director Ann Demeester (BE/NL), curator Annie Fletcher (IR/NL),
visual artist Steve Mc Queen (GB/NL), writer and curator Elena Filipovic
(US/BE), curator Dieter Roelstraete (BE), independent researcher/curator
Lisette Smits (NL) and philosopher/curator Henk Slager (NL).

  -          The opportunity to meet a large number of artists, curators,
critics and other professionals from the Netherlands and abroad in a
very condensed period of time, and having the chance to exchange ideas
with them, either during thematic seminars or during informal
encounters. Guest teachers in 2007 were e.g. Carlos Basualdo (US) ,
Gerardo Mosquera (CU/US), Paul ONeill (GB),  Jacques Ranciere (FR),
Simon Sheik (SE) and Pier Luigi Tazzi (IT).

  -          the opportunity to get acquainted with de Appel from the
inside, and get a better insight into the mechanisms and governing
principles of a contemporary institution for visual arts.

  -          The possibility to make a long trip outside of Western Europe
and a minimum of 7 excursions within Europe.

  3.          A CV, including an extensive description of one's relevant
