Active Curating - Monday 17th to Friday 23rd March 2014
This year we have been exploring some new
experimental activities. Active Curating was suggested by
Lauren at a recent meeting as a method of curating, to not only explore how
artworks might co-habit a space, but also to explore our negotiation and shared
use of that space as a group. For this first activity, we installed a show of
our works in the gallery space at Islington mill and then over the course of 1
week, we 're-curated' the works, sometimes meeting as a group to do this,
sometimes individually. We kept a logbook for each of us to track the changes
we had made to the show, and as a space to record other thoughts and comments.
Following on from this first week long activity, Rachel suggested an evening
version of Active Curating where we introduce some gaming
elements and rules about how, when and where to move the works. If you're
interested in the sound of this, get in touch and we'll send you the details.
