COURSE ONLINE: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CURATING AND ORGANISING AN EXHIBITION OR A PAVILION AT THE (VENICE) BIENNALE.

01.07 – 24.07.2024

Deadline: 15 June 2024

Everything you need to know about curating and organising an exhibition or a pavilion at the (Venice) Biennale.What is necessary to know about permissions, promotion, funding and more…to make a successful event.

The Venice Biennale is a large-scale international contemporary art exhibition. In early May, thousands of art-world denizens descend in the city for the opening of a new edition of the Biennale, the closely watched pageant of contemporary art that has been running — with a few interruptions — since 1895. The Biennale is arguably the most prestigious exhibition in the world, filled with history and also cloaked in myth. The preview days brings 25,000 artists, collectors, curators, museum directors and journalists into the city, followed by 600,000 visitors in the six months after. For this reason it is extremely important to know how everything works.

CATCHING IDEAS OF BEAUTY: A JOURNEY INTO THE PHILOSOPHY OF ART PART I

Course online

New dates soon available

Deadline for applying:

A good preparation in the field of art philosophy helps contextualise topics that are too often treated superficially by curators and art critics. Making art or talking about art cannot be approached without a good knowledge of the philosophers who have been instrumental in developing theories of art.

This is an experimental online course that wants to take a closer look at some conceptualizations made on beauty, philosophy of art, aesthetics and the sublime. In these first 6 online sessions we will have a closer look at Walter Benjamin, G.W.F. Hegel and Immanuel Kant. We call these theories and authors classical, which is a word to hide that we forgot about their theories in detail and that we effectively have only wrapped-up conclusions or prejudices about them in our minds. The word “classical” is effectively today a word that means “irrelevant” for our own time and purposes. A “classical” is well known and famous to everybody, but extraneous to us. But the reality is that all these classical theories and texts are much less homogenous and well known as they seem. They are ambiguous and conflictual already for themselves and in their own paradoxes very much relevant for our own ideas of beauty and art theory. In this series of lectures, readings and conversations we do not have to talk necessarily about the realities of art and beauty today, about single artworks or artists — although we might do if we want to — but our focus is set on concepts of beauty and philosophy of art between 1750 and 1930. While doing so we will try to catch the very detailed core of them in their very specific contradictions and ambiguities.
