Exhibition Practices : Stakes & Perspectives
Symposium at the Museum of Fine Arts (Auditorium)
8 March 2007
22 March 2007
In 2007, la criée center for contemporary art will initiate a series of
symposia on exhibition practices in contemporary art. It is our hope that
this first edition will be the beginning of a series rich in the exchange of
experiences and curatorial perspectives. The series of symposia on
exhibition practices has emerged from la criée’s project for residencies and
exhibitions initiated in 2005 in the European cities of the Atlantic Arc.
This European project has provided opportunities for productive encounters
and collaborations between visiting artists, curators, directors,
international art critics and artistic directors.
The discovery of very different ways of working from one context to another,
exchanges around production and exhibition projects, encounters, often
unexpected, with art theoreticians and practitioners all contributed to our
desire to prolong and deepen this reflection, to make these exchanges public
and maintain the connections established.
Each symposium will bring together international professionals; these
artists, curators, art historians and theoreticians will be invited because
they analyze and renew exhibition practices in the field of contemporary
art.
The complementary nature of artistic creation, curatorial practice,
historical research, critical thought and theorization will enrich the
debate and enable the exchange of experiences and the sharing of projects,
thereby contributing to the quality of scholarship and prospective thought.
The goal of the 2007 symposium is to share different experiences and
perspectives on the way artists and curators work with the history and
current status of the exhibition, and how they take charge of, circumscribe
or undermine existing exhibition formats.
How do they propose new ways of working with the artist, giving priority to
directions within the work or to production rather than to the exhibition
or, on the contrary, extending the exhibition model according to specific
conditions of exchange, work and visibility? How can we "produce",
"control", or "free ourselves from" images in exhibitions in the age of
globalization?
