As a prelude to the Gallerist Programme, de Appel arts centre and the Fair Gallery are organising a short intensive workshop.
Intensive workshop Curating in the gallery field
The workshops take place over two days, each day starting with an introductory speech, followed by the presentation of a case study that lays the foundation for an interactive assignment between course attendants and tutors. The days end with a discussion between participants and external experts offering their feedback about the above-mentioned assignments.
The first day of the workshop is dedicated to one of the crucial moments of presentation and promotion for a gallerist: the Art Fair. What are the relationships between the parties present at the fair (artists, collectors, curators, press)? How do you work with or around the available models of display? How does the temporary presentation at the fair relate to your stable and longstanding interests? Looking back to the practical conditions and opportunities of the art fair, the second workshop day, takes a closer look at the systems of the art market.
Workshops are conducted by: Jennifer Flay (Director FIAC), Suhail Malik & Andrea Phillips (Goldsmiths, University of London), Francesco Manacorda (Director Artissima), Richard Flood (Director of Special Projects and Curator at Large), Jonas Zakaitis (Tulip&Roses, Brussels), Olav Velthuis (Economic sociologist), amongst others.
