Critical Curatorial Practices in the 21st Century: Public Space, New Media and Geopolitics

2024-04-29

活動簡介：
針對21世紀的深刻轉變和複雜挑戰，策展藝術家可以採用哪些策略來應對全球和本地的問題？他們對於這個時代的策展實踐有什麼樣的觀點？策展實踐如何可以介入公共空間，質問歷史？當代新媒體以及虛擬空間如何能夠成為策展的媒介？策展如何可以帶出教育的目的？博物館空間是否成了一種限制？或者，博物館空間仍舊具有塑造社群能動性的力量？當前全球地緣政治的變化之中，策展實踐是否也能夠思考藝術工作者身分政治的限制？為了探討這些問題，我們邀請了三位跨地域的策展藝術家參與此次線上論壇，分享他們過去藝術實踐的經驗，一起思考21世紀批判性策展的可能向度。我們也邀請了藝術教育者共同討論這些議題。

Introduction:
In response to the profound transformations and complex challenges of the 21st century, what strategies can curatorial artists employ to tackle global and local issues? What are their perspectives on curatorial practices in this era? How can curatorial practices intervene in public spaces and question history? How can contemporary new media and virtual spaces serve as mediums for curation? How can curation serve educational purposes? Are museum spaces becoming restrictive, or do they still possess the power to shape community dynamics? Amidst the current global geopolitical changes, can curatorial practices also consider the limitations of artists' identity politics? To delve into these questions, we have invited three cross-local curatorial artists to participate in this online forum, sharing their past artistic experiences and collectively contemplating the potential dimensions of critical curation in the 21st century. We have also invited art educators to join in discussing these issues.
