The Japan Foundation and the University of the Philippines Vargas Museum are accepting proposals for curatorial projects for a workshop on curating contemporary art from January 27-28, 2011 at the UP Vargas Museum. Now on its second year, the project aims to provide a platform for interaction among young curators, their peers and established practitioners in the field.
The curatorial proposal of 500-800 words should include a working title; a brief explanation of the project with reference to artists, space, and relevant logistical details; and conceptual issues or theoretical reflections. Only individuals 35 years old and below may submit. After the proposals are selected, proponents will be advised to write a more detailed essay for the workshop.
This workshop is geared towards the JENESYS Program for Curators in developing curatorial resources in the region.
