We sincerely invite young curators, researchers, and practitioners in curatorial studies/education and related fields to participate in the Youth Panel section of the upcoming international Symposium "Intermission: Curatorial Studies/Education?". This international Symposium is hosted by the China Academy of Art, organized by School of Intermedia Art, National Institute of Art/Education and executed by the Institute of Contemporary Art and Social Thoughts(ICAST). It will be held on November 3-4, 2024, at the Xiangshan Campus of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou.

The Symposium consists of two parts: the Main Symposium will gather leaders from curatorial education departments across continents, experts from significant museums, biennials, and foundations around the world who focus on curatorial research and education, as well as professionals from collectives, self-organized, and experimental institutions with rich local curatorial practice, research, and educational experience. to come together and discuss the history, current status, and future of curatorial education. The Youth Panel will provide a platform for young curators, researchers, and practitioners in curatorial studies/education to express their views and engage in conversations.

We profoundly feel that the contemporary art system is at an "intermission," sustained by a powerful inertia. The next act of art history has yet to begin, and the 21st century may be quietly accumulating new questions and energies. During this "Intermission" state, let us concentrate on curatorial practice and research, and initiate the debate between curatorial education and art.

We welcome young curators, researchers, and practitioners with long-term interest, research, and reflections in curatorial studies/education and related fields to actively participate. Participants are required to have work experience in the relevant field. The presentation can be related to curatorial research and practice or the broader curatorial education. We encourage you to offer new insights into "curatorial studies/education" and the symposium theme.

 

Theme

"Intermission: Curatorial Studies/Education?" stems from a sense of the Reality: we seem to be in a period of stagnation in both art and human history at this moment. The previous "act has ended, the next has yet to begin. The grandeur of the past has faded, while the new historical tone is still awaiting its definitive articulation--awkward Intermission is still in search of its Mission.

The intermission is not only an "intermission" for contemporary art but also for broader cultural and political realities. For art today, it is both the background and, more importantly, the working object. We observe that the activities of the art world are increasingly caught in an involution cycle turning into a stagnated routine carnival that occurs regularly at different intervals. On the other hand, technology and the social structures it shapes are rapidly changing, chaotic opinions (doxa) are becoming more cacophonous and divisive, people are constantly being segmented and polarized... Those phenomena have naturally become the material for much of today's art creation and exhibitions. However, this still falls short of the preparation needed to open a new big play.

Thus, can curatorial actions, Which have long served as a radical force, become a fulcrum to overcome this Intermission situation? Especially when they occurs within the educational field, through curatorial practice and curatorial research, art education is reinterpreted as an education of the individual, liberating art and committing itself to the cultivation and shaping of the "new generation" and "new knowledge." This forms the fundamental premise for our collective inquiry into the potential of curatorial studies and education: How do we understand the unique agency of curatorial studies and education? What are the methodologies and focal points of curatorial studies and education in this context?
