CAST CURATORIAL FORUM
AND WORKSHOP

This initiative will provide an introduction to contemporary curatorial practice (ranging from procedures followed by Artist Run Initiatives to major institutions) with a view to encouraging more curatorial activity in Tasmania. It will include a series of papers presented by prominent national curators and will provide a cross-section of curatorial practice and information sessions from Tasmanian public gallery representatives regarding curatorial opportunities in the state.

The program will begin with an opening paper given by the chair of the panel, Stuart Koop, on Friday 13th April at 6pm, followed by a panel discussion/forum on Saturday morning 14th and a workshop in the afternoon.

The workshop component will give an excellent opportunity for those interested in curating contemporary art exhibitions to develop their ideas in consultation with their peers and with selected panel members. For those wishing to participate in the workshops could you please submit a concise imaginary premise or idea that reflects your particular interests. There will be a limited number of places available for the workshops, which will be divided into small groups. Applications will be selected from the proposals submitted.
