About

A critical introduction to curating practice and curatorial thinking in contemporary art and design.

Overview

The online Curating Contemporary Art and Design summer school provides an intensive introduction to contemporary curatorial thinking and practice in art and design. It offers critical perspectives from the viewpoint of experts who curate, research and write in the cultural sector, with opportunities for participants to engage with cutting edge curatorial approaches emerging both within and beyond London.

Through in-depth discussions with pioneering curators, participants are introduced to collections and displays of leading UK galleries and museums. In addition, the sessions consider wider forms of practice such as commissioning, programming, publishing and online curating.
