ICW 2013

The International Curatorial Workshop, this year at its 3rd edition, will offer fifteen young curators the opportunity to work for three days (3rd to 5th June 2013) with curators and art practitioners of international reputation who have participated in projects focusing on the various forms, analysis and creation of social art practices. Vessel’s International Curatorial Workshop has always been strongly practice oriented and conceived as an organic structure aiming to articulate a consistent collective reflection on the contemporary role of the socially engaged art practices, in the current economic, cultural and political climate. Goals of ICW are also to set up working platforms which would enable participants to develop further curatorial projects and to encourage networking in order to promote international circulation of cultural projects.

ICW 2013 will be tutored by Consonni, Leone Contini, Curandi Katz, Marco Degaetano – XScape, Fernando Garcia Dory, Carolina Rito, Wochen Klausur, Viviana Checchia, Anna Santomauro, Francesco Scasciamacchia, Charles Esche, Ilaria Gianni and Marco Petroni together with other members of vessel’s committee.

This year, ICW will focus on vessel’s 2013 agenda which consists of participating in the two-year Materiality project through the creation of a web-based radio relating on interdisciplinary cultural practitioners coming from the Apulia and the surrounding Mediterranean area. The two program will allow international curators to explore their practice through the lens of the local territory.

The call for applications for vessel’s International Curatorial Workshop will remain open until 21 April, 2013, with confirmations given before the end of April 2013.
