Exhibition Makers
Rather than curators
To marl the distinction between care and preservation of collections, from the exercise of display.

Exhibition?, Philadelphia: Philadelphia Exhibitions Press, 2006: 14.

A wonderful website - with wonderful stories of people. Images do matter! Because images contribute to the stories one tells.
O comunitate face atâta cât poveștile pe care le spune despre ea însăși.

Jobs, residencies and internships for artists and curators
Are you an artist? Not sure. Me neither.
I often think that anthropologists and ethnographers are so close to the field of art and rarely have the strength to step out of academia and see if they could have something to say/ work/ in this field.
I thought of putting together a list of websites where jobs, internships, residencies in the field of art could be taken. They are all in the UK. A friend of mine told me about all three of them.
http://www.artsjobs.org.uk/arts-jobs-listings/
https://www.curatorspace.com/.
https://www.a-n.co.uk/network/
I suppose all these sites might be a good hubs for all those who want to push forward their projects, gain some money from residencies, find about regulations (like data protection in the field of arts).

Ordinary Curating in Micro Museums
 |
| The Cornice Museum of Ornamental Plasterwork in Scotland |
Have you wondered why sometimes visiting a small museum makes people feel nostalgic about the past? What is it so powerful and special about ordinary curating? How objects are exhibited, labelled, explained? How specific designs are associated to feelings?
An introduction into the world of micro-museums by Fiona Caitlin.

anthropology in/of museums
8-10th of June, RAI Conference at British Museum.
Two panels dedicated to museums, representation and the relation between anthropology and the museum world.
P02 Exhibiting Anthropology and
P14 Anthropology in/of museums.
I particularly think that discussions which have anthropological background applied to the museum world are very useful. Some of the reasons for this assumption are the following:
a. anthropology is reflexive and critical at its own discourse and making (also as a response to its collonial non-reflexive past) - and museums very often tend not to be reflexive. Why so, it is an interesting topic of discussion.
b. anthropology works with scale - personal stories, options, realities; museums tend to generalise.
c.both anthropology and museums deal with truth.
d.in relation to that, both deal with representation/s of partial truths.
e. it was also discussed the role of art interventions in ethnological or anthropological museums - and its playful, critical point in addressing issues that employeed researchers and currators in museums are not allowed to
f. etc - this was by far the most interesting part!
being said that, I attach two images from a bok with the installation of Fred Wilson, an artist who specifically works and criticises the museum field.

How to learn to be a curator
This is a programe in France (Grenoble) to train future curators in the field of arts.
The application deadline: 30th of April.
Please, see for the application pack and procedures:
http://www.ecoledumagasin.com/spip.php?article151
Application
Candidates are expected to have attained a level equivalent to a master’s degree, or to have some years of significant professional experience. They are aware of the production and the mediation of contemporary art within the institutional contexts, and are open to the current landscape of diversifying sites, forms, languages and economies of culture specific to emergences in the field of contemporary art. A sufficient level of cultural knowledge allows the candidate to question the debates on art, from other theoretical fields.
Considering the pedagogy at the École (autonomy of the participants, individual researches, study trips, meetings and seminars), the capacity to work both independently and collaboratively is necessary. The École du Magasin is an international program that welcomes artists, curators and theoreticians from all over the world. The languages of communication in the program are English and French. Candidates are expected to have sufficient knowledge of both languages. An ability to shift between languages is encouraged.
Session expenses are covered by the École. Participants are not required to pay tuition fees, but must assure their own living expenses. Please note that the École being organised independently from the University system, application to grants offered by the Ministry of Education are hardly received. Candidates searching for a financial support should rather apply to funds developed for an international residency by national or international public or private cultural organisations.
Admission to the École du Magasin is approved in two stages :
1. A pre-selection based on an application, which includes :
* Application form
* Current Curriculum Vitae
* Curatorial project proposal
* 1 Letter of motivation
* 3 cover letters
* Copies of Diploma and/or proofs of employment
The curatorial project proposal is of no more than three A4 pages recto/verso, and includes a curatorial statement, a presentation of the location of the project as well as the participating artists, and a realistic budget. The candidates precisely define the object of this project, and articulate its relevance within the field of art. The proposal must clearly convey the concerns and the nature of the project.
NB : The proposal is for admission purposes only and is not intended for consideration during the session.
Application must be sent between 1st February and no later then 30 April 2012. Only complete dossiers will be considered.
2. An interview with a jury in Grenoble. Pre-selected candidates will be informed by letter of the date of the interview (scheduled in June). Interviews via Internet can be arranged on a case-by-case basis.
The application deadline: 30th of April.
