Course content

Live performance gains more and more terrain with the visual arts world. Although during the 20th century there have been many moments of live arts within visual arts contexts, it's only since 2000's that its influence became widespread and structural within established visual arts institutions. How do live arts influence museums' modes of operation? And how does the context of the museum offer new possibilities for the development of live arts?

During a one week exchange between the residents of the Master Dance and the curators-in-development of Curatorial Studies(KASK Gent), the participants delve into the history of curation and live arts, different points of view and curatorial practices are examined, and the participants take the modernist building of Arts Centre DE SINGEL as a playground to organize a live arts exhibition.The course will focus on the crossroads between live arts and the curatorial. How to create curatorial frames for live arts? How different is the economy of live arts in relation to curating objects? How does live arts respond to the attention economy? These and more questions form the base of this week.

Participants will have a two-folded schedule. On the one hand there are lectures with invited curators and choreographers working on this framework and on the other hand, the main responsible teacher-artist of the course will guide the week and the participants to develop a collaborative work. Together, the participants create a curatorial concept in relation to a performative intervention within the festival Radiant Nights of DE SINGEL.

This course is organized in collaboration with KASK Curatorial Studies by: Michiel Vandevelde, Laura Herman, Renata Lamenza Epifanio, Anna Stoppa, Yann Chanteigné and Iris Terclaevers.
