In conjunction with the exhibition Silvia Kolbowski: A Few Howls Again, the workshop Making Arguments in Space workshop will explore strategies of critical curating with a focus on spatial dialogues. Rather than asking, do these art works illustrate my argument? This workshop will ask, how can you foreground an artist’s intent? What are the politics of exhibition? How are material stories told? What are curatorial ethics? This workshop will assist participants in defining their own curatorial practice that is actively engaged in the politics of display. Participants are encouraged to bring questions, examples, and in-progress projects to the workshop, as this will enrich the dialogue. This program is open to all interested in curating, but will be geared towards emerging curators.
