1. Talk at Lighthouse, Brighton, UK - April 5
I'm really pleased to be giving a talk as part of the monthly talks series at Lighthouse, a digital culture agency based in Brighton. Lighthouse supports, commissions and exhibits work by artists and filmmakers, creating vibrant, inspirational programmes that show how important artists and filmmakers are in a changing media landscape. My lecture will use the metaphor of 'uncharted territories' to reveal why curating now is more exciting than it was even five years ago, with the kinds of new projects artists are able to create due to the pace of innovation.
My talk is on April 5 at 19:00. You can obtain tickets and find out more at the Lighthouse website.
2. Interview published on ZERO1 Biennial blog & ZERO1 Open Calls
As part of the curatorial team for the ZERO1 Biennial (see you in September!), I was interviewed for the ZERO1 newsletter and blog. Dying to know what technologies I can't live without, and how working on a biennial in Silicon Valley is unique? Read all about it on the ZERO1 blog. Also there are several open calls for artists, volunteers, and more, check out the ZERO1 open calls on their website.
3. C New Critics Competition - deadline April 20
If you are an emerging art critic, submit your work to the C New Critics Competition, deadline April 20. The jury for the competition includes Dan Adler, Assistant Professor of Modern Art at York University in Toronto, Amish Morrell, Editor of C Magazine, and yours truly. Get the details at the C Magazine website.
4. Curating.info Fellow announced
You may remember the crowdfunding campaign that I was holding (and probably personally nagging you to donate to) for the inaugural Curating.info Fellowship. I came up with the idea of a Fellowship to address the lack of paid opportunities for curatorial research. At last I'm delighted to announce that the 2012 Curating.info Fellow, hosted by the CCA in Glasgow, is Emma Brasó.
Emma will begin her Fellowship this month. She'll conduct curatorial research and develop an exhibition for CCA. To find out more about Emma and read the statement that she submitted in her application for the Fellowship, view the entry about her on Curating.info.
5. What else is cooking?
The Dutch Electronic Art Festival will soon be upon us, and the programme has been released. The exhibition will feature artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Tuur van Balen, Roman Kirschner, Jae Rhim Lee, and many others; the Symposium on Vital Beauty features thinkers such as Steven Shaviro, Thierry Bardini, and Lars Spuybroek; and debates, discussions, book launches, and a blowout party celebrating 30 years of V2_ are just a few of the many things happening at DEAF. Check out the DEAF program and follow DEAF on Twitter!
Thanks for reading! If you think what I am working on might be of interest to someone else you know, please direct them to the mailing list subscription form here.
See you in Brighton, Rotterdam, San Jose, or elsewhere!
