Curating Critical Pedagogies: A Curatorial Conversation with Binna Choi, Galit Eilat and Simon Sheikh
This May, the Belkin Art Gallery is pleased to be a recipient of a 2018 PWIAS International Research Roundtable Award for the project Curating Critical Pedagogies, which interrogates critical practices in contemporary art and curating. The Roundtable will bring participants together for a five-day workshop as well as studio visits and conversations with Vancouver-based artists, curators, academics and critics. Impetus for the workshop developed out of an examination into the pedagogical role of the academic art gallery – one often thought of as an ideal space for experiments in curating that foster critical practices. However, what are critical practices in art and curating? What is the relationship between critique and the institution, and how should the academic gallery situate itself within this context? The public event will provide an opportunity to come together to work through inquiries surrounding public engagement in art and exhibitions.
A Curatorial Conversation with Binna Choi, Galit Eilat and Simon Sheikh
All are welcome and admission is free.
Please join us at the Western Front for a panel discussion among four international curators. As part of their visit to Vancouver for Curating Critical Pedagogies, Binna Choi (Casco Art Institute), Galit Eilat (DAI, CCS Bard) and Simon Sheikh (Goldsmiths, University of London) will discuss their programs, institutions and research. Western Front’s Caitlin Jones will moderate the conversation.
This event is hosted by the Western Front and presented by the Belkin Art Gallery. We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies for the award to support this Academic Program research project.
