> Nowadays no contemporary art venue of any significance can be
> considered without first involving a curator. A curator¹s
> engagement or at least signature is more crucial to the world of
> contemporary art now than ever before. This is something that has
> dissolved some old discourses and at the same time creating new
> ones. The definition of the curator is being explored constantly,
> creating new ways of thinking about and working with art. But like
> every development, this creates new problems that need to be dealt
> with. Due to this development, the numbers of curatorial courses
> have been growing rapidly over the last decade in various parts of
> the world. By constantly challenging and reshaping its format, the
> need for a critical survey is of utmost importance.
>
> Curatorial Education Network is an on-line database in which each
> course hosts its own part. Ongoing interviews and discussions with
> former participants and course managers will be constantly updated.
> The website will thus function as an overview of the past, present
> and future in the education of curating. It also addresses the
> necessity of the collaborative element.
