[Judit Szalipszki]

The Studio of Young Artists’ Association presents:


CURATORS NETWORK – BUDAPEST | CRITICAL TINKERING


A platform for emerging European artists, curators and art professionals to
connect and collaborate. Between 9th and 12th of October 2012, the Studio
of Young Artists’ Association (SYAA) will organize the next encounter of
Curators’ Network at the Ludwig Museum, Budapest.


The Curators’ Network gathering in Budapest is the third in a series of
meetings in five European countries between 2011 and 2013. The Budapest
event will allow Hungarian artists, curators and other art professionals to
exchange ideas with their European counterparts, stimulating dialogue,
debate and communication with a focus on establishing ties of international
collaboration. Curators’ Network is set up by curators and cultural
managers of Spain, Austria, Romania, Poland and Hungary. The goal of this
union is to promote promising artists and projects throughout Europe, who
still feel the lack of international exposure.

The SYAA has invited a wide range of international curators to come to know
the works of 20 emerging Hungarian artists, chosen through an open
application process. The public events of Curators’ Network Budapest
include presentations and a portfolio-exhibition.

*WOULD YOU MIND SOME CRITICAL TINKERING?** **|** two nights of public
presentations by international and local** **curators*


Public events of Curators’ Network Budapest include presentations and a
portfolio-exhibition. The international curators and some local initiatives
present their projects, institutions and curatorial practices on the 11th
(Thursday) and 12th (Friday) October 2012 in the Ludwig Museum. Before and
during the presentations (15.00 – 20.00) the portfolio-exhibition with the
works of the participating artists will also be open to the public.

*
*

*tinker / globally / act / locally*


Presentations will revolve around the rhythm of self-organisation and the
relations between marginality and power, alternative models in cultural
production, the tension between the individual and the organisation in
curatorial processes. We will hear about an output of a project in terms of
'glocality' and by the end of the series of presentations we may be able to
answer the question: 'is going global actually a good way to escape from
the local misery?'

*
*

*tinkering outside the box – models, tactics, strategies, institutions,
curatorial projects and practices*


Sessions will focus on different standpoints on curating, exhibition making
and ways of institutional development. Several presentations will deal with
educational means and models and progressive activities at European art
universities; we will hear about a brand new residency program in Vienna
and we’ll hopefully pocket the key of *how not to die of boredom and
struggle*.

Between 15:00 and 20:00 the portfolio-exhibition will be open to the public
on 11th (Thursday) and 12th (Friday) October. Presentations will start at
17.00.

Please pick up your free ticket at the cash-desk if you arrive before 6 pm.
Please note that the cloakroom of the museum closes at 6 pm and they do not
 hold responsibility for belongings after 6 pm. Therefore, coats and bags
may be taken into the exhibition space.
