Call for a curatorial project 2016–17

Part of the exhibition programme at the La Box gallery – from January to March 2017 – will be organised by a freelance curator, a critic or an art collective. The project must fit with the School’s concerns, but there is no predefined exhibition format: it is up to the curator to decide on the mode of presentation, which may take the form of several exhibitions or a single, open-ended one. The curator (or the collective) is encouraged to come up with proposals for cooperative ventures with such local partners as the non-profit Emmetrop and Bandits-Mages contemporary art/image associations, the City of Bourges and secondary schools.

The curator will organise a seminar for ENSA students in the first semester 2016–2017. As part of the study programme, the seminar must integrate the students into the designing and realisation of the exhibition programme while also providing a broader view of what is at stake in curatorial practice. It must also tie in with the school’s teaching themes, as outlined in ENSA’s Livret de l’étudiant (Student Handbook):  If appropriate, the seminar can be designed to coordinate with an existing ENSA teaching module
