- The School for Curatorial Studies, Arts and Communication is an ambitious and challenging project promoted since 2004 and conceived as a school committed to experimentation and interdisciplinary thinking. The main goals are to spread knowledge in the field of visual arts and to introduce the students to the professions related to the art world, focusing on contemporary curatorial theory and practice and contemporary museology. The School’s activities are meant for all those interested and passionate of art, graduate students or professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and improve their practical skills. The centre’s teaching staff is formed by Italian and international professionals, scholars, historians and art critics of recognized experience.

- The program:
The Course in Curatorial Practice is an English-taught, intensive program on the history of contemporary visual arts and practices of exhibition-making. Its international faculty includes curators and museum professionals, artists and critics. The course is designed to increase the students understanding of the intellectual and technical tasks of the curator figure related to the set up of exhibitions and projects. The lectures cover both theoretical and practical topics that go from History of Exhibition to Exhibition Management. The students participate in weekly activities such as artist studio visits, tours of exhibition spaces, networking events, and workshops with a variety of experts and practitioners. The second module of the course includes a three week tour of a specific European area that is of interest for the contemporary art scene (every year a different place is chosen) . During the trip, our school will arrange meetings with artists, curators, museums and non-profit centres. The program culminates with the set up of an exhibition or an art event and the publication of a printed catalogue. The school’s means are to align specific theoretical lectures to a practical approach. Students will be offered the possibility of a gallery training, specifically focusing on the setting up of an event and concentrating on the possibilities offered by the chosen space.

Praxis:

The students will structure their own show project, performance, or any other form of artistic event they have chosen. Each participant will present and discuss their curatorial project. After the discussion phase, the students will be guided in the construction and production of their project. There will be two different workshops on press office skills and on the design of a catalogue for the fulfilment of the project in order to enrich the completeness of the job. The participants will coordinate artists, transportation, insurance policies, promotion and the organization of the final publication. The peak lies in the production of the event. After the presentation to the public the student will be given the tools to document the professional event. Lectures will be held from Monday to Friday, from 9.30am to 1.30pm and from 02.30pm to 05.30pm. Theoretical lectures will be held in the mornings, in order to provide conceptual and operational tools to independently manage the setting of an exhibition. In the afternoon, students will attend seminars, workshops, guided tours to museums and exhibitions which animate the rich cultural life of Venice. The participants will develop the themes as well as concepts, organization, acquisition, communication and the concrete implementation together with the course director and international guests (artists, curators, architects, critics, fine arts scientists and publishers of art journals).
