Nicolaus Schafhausen gives a lecture under the subject Art Ouside Institutions with take-off-point in his work as the director of Witte de With. Schafhausen discusses the ongoing transformation of the institution, their public funding, cultural politics and the curators role in all of this.
Paz Guevaras lecture addresses the different curatorial models, within its historical perspective in modern and contemporary art, as an starting point to analyze and discuss recent and current curatorial practice. Are the curatorial models in an historical development? To what extend is the art practice influencing the new modes of curating, and vice versa? It seems insufficient to approach curatorial work only from the perspective of the selection of artworks and its display. Rather, a political reading must be realized.
