> After successfully completing and summarizing the results of the  
> first international summer school for art curators organized in  
> July 4-17, 2006 in Yerevan, Armenia, the National Association of  
> Art Critics (NAAC) now intends to further develop the program  
> focusing on partnership and networking with regional actors in the  
> field of art criticism and curating.
>
> The first year's summer school brought together prospective and  
> already practicing young curators from former socialist countries  
> (from Slovenia Monika Ivancic and Tevz Logar) and Turkey into a  
> lively and productive environment of workshops and seminars.
>
> The summer seminars' program 2007 is organized in collaboration  
> with SCCA-Ljubljana, Soros Center for Contemporary Art - Alma Aty  
> and BM Center for Contemporary Art, Istanbul.
>
> The 2007 summer seminars and the workshop for art curators will  
> center on the relation of the art critic and curator on the one  
> hand and curator-artist on the other, in the face of globalization/ 
> westernization of the art market and big exhibitions; i. e.  
> biennales, art fairs and festivals as one of the outcomes of these  
> processes that have penetrated into former socialist countries  
> since the mid-1990's. The program will focus on curating as a  
> critical practice, and particularly, the curator as someone who  
> combines the management of relations (artist-curator, artist- 
> critics and artist-society) with the function of evaluation. We  
> will discuss historically and culturally unique art events and  
> practices where the curator combining the roles of a presenter and  
> a critic has chosen different strategies of display and mediation.
>
