The MAC's second Curatorial Directions programme will be taking place from 22 – 28 May 2017, providing an opportunity for 8 emerging curators to engage in an intensive week of lectures, discussions, workshops and excursions examining certain key issues and ideas regarding contemporary curatorial practice. Applications for this programme have now closed.
Set within the context of Lost in Narration, the exhibition occupying the MAC’s galleries during this time, Curatorial Directions 2017 will focus on the importance of text, narration, and story-telling in relation to exhibition making, considering new ways in which writing and publishing are contributing to curatorial discourse in the UK and Ireland, as well as in Italy, where the exhibiting artists in Lost in Narration all hail from.
This concentrated week of dialogue will consider these topics in a participatory and collaborative manner, led by the MAC curatorial team and MAC guest curator Manuela Pacella and will involve a dynamic roster of guest speakers and experts from various areas in the field of curating contemporary art. The faculty of speakers, facilitators and collaborators over the course of the programme includes: Juliet Jacques, Frederic Huska, Paper Visual Art Dublin, Response to a Request, Bookworks London, Pirelli HangarBicocca, and Humboldt Publishing, Milan.
Curatorial Directions is delivered in partnership with British Council.
