WORKSHOP
The Curator’s Workshop is a monthly gathering, open to all, that aims to foster discussions around curating, contemporary art practices and interdisciplinary theory.
Living Ecological

As Extinction Rebellion gathers in major cities of the UK to demonstrate for climate and ecological issues, The Curator’s Workshop returns in October with a special event responding to Timothy Morton’s book ‘Being Ecological’ (2018). Co-hosted with artist Kotryna Ula Kiliulyte and joined by special guests like the A+E Collective, we will show screenings of artists’ videos and discuss together how to live ecological.

Curating from a con-textual space: Cannibal O
11 July 2019, 7pm | CCA Glasgow
In April 2019, artist and writer Catalina Barroso Luque invited 8 women to take part of Cannibal O, a silent reading of her homonymous barf (published by PSS) and a curatorial event hosted inside a womb-like installation at the CCA's Intermedia Gallery in Glasgow. This intimate event explored ideas of feminist cannibalism as related to female authored art and spectatorship.
The next event of The Curator's Workshop will be the opportunity to hear the artist speaking about her project, and reflect together about dynamics of performativity, digestion and consumption and widely about hierarchies of power built around the body in regards to female-male / Western-non-Western relations.
_
Catalina Barroso-Luque is a Mexican artist and curator based in Glasgow. Catalina constructs narratives inhabited by surrogate female bodies, voices and texts, which foil how she relates to others and herself. Her practice spans across writing, installation and performance; utilising language and sexuality as instruments of power. Projects evolve out of extended research, artistic and curatorial processes where writing, making, and performative interactions with practitioners in other fields infect and inflect each other. Intimate collaborations and encounters, allow works to be sincere and present, while retaining a potent indignation that illustrates the violence these dynamics produce.

Shadow Curator
6 June 2019, 7pm | CCA Glasgow
In the third install we will examine the position of the Shadow Curator as it relates to roles of dialogue, geographical isolation and critical support in curatorial practice. The Shadow Curator concept evolved through Nuno Sacramento’s PhD in curatorial practice at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, University of Dundee, titled ‘Shadow Curating: A Critical Portfolio’ (2006). He currently works as the Director of Peacock Visual Arts in Aberdeen.
A selected chapter from ‘ARTocracy: Art, Informal Space, and Social Consequence’ by Nuno Sacramento and Claudia Zeiske will act as a platform to examine the possibilities and limitations within this position.
Supported by freelance curators, Naoko Mabon and Rachel Grant. They are currently in the position of Shadow Curators at Peacock Visual Arts, Aberdeen for the Peacock Associates Curatorial Fellowship, an educational platform for artist/curators and curators working in the North East region of Scotland.

Post-Internet Mnemosyne
9 May 2019, 7pm | CCA Glasgow
To which extent the Internet has influenced contemporary artistic practices in their access to an expanded knowledge, as well as in the displays and forms of (re)presentation?
This question will be the starting point to foster discussions during the next meeting of The Curator’s Workshop.

Cannibalism & Hybridity. Acting from the periphery
11 April 2019, 7pm | CCA Glasgow
