- Institution as Praxis – New Curatorial Directions for Collaborative Research is a multi-component output presenting research that explores the critical and investigative capabilities of curatorial public programming in contemporary art institutions and in contemporary curating.
The epistemology of the curatorial in this project is understood as a research practice developed via the articulation and juxtaposition of ideas and materials, events and publications, situated beyond the traditional idea of curating as exhibition-making. Rather, the making public of curating is based on public events (talks, workshops, performances, screenings) and publications. In this research, the curatorial is a multifaceted and multi-format constellation of outputs whereby the research question is being interrogated and new ideas and materials are being juxtaposed to generate new knowledge both on the output subject matter and on the practice of the curatorial as research.
This multi-component project entails: 1) an Exhibition of curated public events and the launch of its research-led infrastructure; 2) the publication of an Edited book, Institution as Praxis – New Curatorial Directions for Collaborative Research; 3) the publication of two Book chapters in the Edited book Institution as Praxis – New Curatorial Directions for Collaborative Research; 4) and the publication of Research report for an external body “Advisory Document on Collaborative Research”. A contextual document is provided which describes in more detail the project’s aims, processes, and insights, and which collates the various components for review.
The research consists of curated public programming as part of a partnership with Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham Trent University, and the University of Nottingham. The partnership between the cultural and HE sectors at Nottingham Contemporary offered the research project conditions for an experimental approach located at the intersection of two paradigms of knowledge production: the academic and the curatorial/artistic.
