CURATORIAL PRACTICE AND CONTEXT – COURSE
This is a course is for all who wants to broaden your perspectives on curatorial practices in performing arts. The course offers critical reflection on diverse socio-political and economic contexts, as well as a possibility to develop curatorial methods for rethinking the practices of contemporary (performing) arts in relation to activism, self-organization and critical thinking.
Choreographers, dancers, curators and other artists and cultural workers related to the performing arts field are welcome to apply to this course. The course relates to questions concerning an expanded understanding of the curatorial, extending beyond black or white box presentation and representation politics.

Bio: Tove Salmgren works as a dancer, choreographer, curator and educator. Since 2016 she leads, together with the artist Kajsa Wadhia, Köttinspektionen Dans, an artist-driven platform and place for experimental dance and choreography in Uppsala, Sweden. As a choreographer, she explores shifted perspectives and reality, often through tiny interventions, based on the interest in negotiating what art (and non-art) can do and be as a place for the emancipatory unknown. Tove has over the last decade been part of various artistic collaborations, such as “The Blob” (initiated by Anna Efraimsson), a curatorial persona exercising and practicing an institutional critique of art, knowledge and beyond, the curatorial collaboration “We happen things” (with Manon Santkin and Moa Franzén) and since 2018, she forms, together with Moa Franzén and Kajsa Wadhia, a performance trio which explores the voice as physical materiality and choreographic tool. Since 2017, she has been employed as a Lecturer in perfomative practices at SKH, Stockholm University of the Arts.

Publication: “Curating in Context – Political and Performative Curatorial Imaginaries”

We are pleased to announce the publication/book “Curating in Context – Political and Performative Curatorial Imaginaries” edited by Biljana Tanurovska – Kjulavkovski and Slavco Dimitrov which was generated as part of their curatorial work on the International summer school “Curating in Context” in the period of 2020-2022.

The book includes texts from exceptional writers – theorists, curators, artists as Danae Theodoridou, Florian Malzacher, Suzana Milevska, Amelia T. Jones, Anastasia Proshutinskaya, Jasmina Založnik, Rok Vevar, Kirsten Maar, Dominic Johnson and Voin de Voin.

The publication/book “Curating in Context – Political and Performative Curatorial Imaginaries” in printed by Lokomotiva and shorty summaries the following:

In this publication editors wanted to interrelate the notion of the curatorial to a problem, or a situation, to time, space, conditions and processes of work, and to observe its transformation in those relations.

They are addressing the term as such and try to reflect it as “programming- dramaturgy – producing – organizing – presenting – exhibiting – reflecting or in its broadest sense, as a process of thinking and doing, and taking care of the context in which artwork is developed and appears.”
