Program booklet
This session of presentations, workshops and seminars, stretching over the course of two months, represents a new chapter in the “Evening Classes” programme launched by Salonul de proiecte in October 2014. This time the subjects tackled will be connected to curating, a practice understood not only in terms of its educative dimension, but also through its potential to create platforms to encourage arts initiatives and types of thinking that can’t be articulated using other institutional moulds. The contributions to the programme bring to attention examples/case studies that question the educational act, on the one hand, and, on the other, provide a framework to discuss and get to know innovative models to support contemporary art in cultural and socio-political contexts that are more often than not hostile to its premises and modes of manifestation. The programme has a markedly regional component, focusing on issues relevant to the central- and east-European space, but without limiting itself to it. The set of issues identified at the regional level can easily be extrapolated to a wider context, whence too the need to talk about self-organisation, institutional openness, new ways of constructing the future, continuously expanding the spectrum of questions from the local to the regional and global level.
