Curatorial Intensive Beijing 2012

Aug 5 – 11, 2012

Beijing, China
Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA)

Beijing, China

In collaboration with the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA), Beijing, ICI unveils the Curatorial Intensive The Museum of the Future?: Curating Institutions, the first Curatorial Intensive to be held in China.

This short-course training program uses curatorial thinking to respond to the changing needs of artists and the new art public. Since the “Experimental Institutionalism” that arose in Europe at the beginning of the new millennium, curators have increasingly taken on directorial roles to establish new precedents for programming institutions and challenging traditional exhibition formats. We are witnessing the development of an incredible range of institutions — from the smallest and most itinerant to vast exhibition halls — responding to the social and political contexts through which they arise.

The Curatorial Intensive at UCCA was organized in affiliation with the College of Humanities at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing.
