[Nettime-ro] curators trip

["asociatia e-cart.ro" <ecart.ro@gmail.com>]

In perioada 16-21 Octombrie 2005, *Visiting Arts UK* cu sprijinul *Fundatiei
Ratiu* din Marea Britanie au organizat " UK curators trip to Romania ". Sase
curatori din Marea Britanie au vizitat cateva centre artistice din Romania
(Bucuresti, Iasi , Cluj), insotiti de Ramona Mitrica - director al Fundatiei
Ratiu UK , Simona Nastac - curator si membru fondator al Asociatiei *
e-cart.ro* si Nansi O'Connor - arts manager *Visiting Arts*. Pe site-ul
www.e-cart.ro/curators puteti citi acum seria de interviuri pe care Simona
Nastac le-a luat curatorilor participanti, precum si prezentarea
proiectului, a institutiilor vizitate in Romania si a Fundatiei Ratiu UK.
Versiunea prezentata pe site este in limba engleza. O versiune in limba
romana va aparea in curand intr-un supliment al « Revistei 22 ».



In continuarea acestui proiect, Asociatia *e-cart.ro* impreuna cu Centrul
Cultural Romanesc din Londra si cu sprijinul Fundatiei Ratiu Marea Britanie
organizeaza in perioada 14-19 ianuarie 2007 « Romanian curators trip to
London ». Un numar de sase curatori din Romania vor fi selectati pentru o
calatorie de cercetare la Londra, unde vor vizita institutii de arta
contemporana si vor avea intalniri si discutii cu profesionisti (curatori,
critici, artisti) de acolo. Speram ca aceasta vizita va constitui o
oportunitate pentru curatorii romani nu doar de a se familiariza cu scena de
arta contemporana londoneza, dar si de a initia colaborari directe cu
institutii ale acesteia.



Cheltuielile de transport, cazare si per diem vor fi acoperite de Fundatia
Ratiu. Curatorii participanti vor fi insotiti de Raluca Voinea, care va
organiza agenda si va inlesni intalnirile cu profesionistii londonezi. O
dupa-amiaza de discutii informale va avea loc la Centrul Cultural Romanesc din
Londra, unde curatorii din Romania se vor intalni cu prieteni si
colaboratori, romani si britanici, ai Centrului si ai Fundatiei Ratiu.
Curatorul
Dr Mike Phillips (Tate), consultantul pentru acest proiect al Fundatiei
Ratiu, va organiza o vizita speciala.
