The fourth edition of CritLab takes place in the city of Takoradi with an inevitable link to its twin-city, Sekondi, in the Western Region of Ghana. Exit Frame Collective will organize this version of its annual, itinerant, fifteen-day pedagogical project in partnership with Takoradi Technical University (TTU) Faculty of Applied Arts and Technology, Foundation for Contemporary Art – Ghana (FCA-Ghana), and blaxTARLINES KUMASI.
CritLab strategically combines the formats of art academy, residency, workshop, laboratory, and professional development programme, and aims to build a network of art professionals who desire to push the boundaries of global art thought, production, criticism, and exhibition making.
CritLab is open to 12 participants (artists, curators, and critics/writers) based in Ghana— this includes non-Ghanaians who may be currently based in Ghana— and is designed as an intensive programme adaptable to the framework of the applicant’s practice. There is no fee for participation, Exit Frame provides for upkeep, local transportation and accommodation for selected participants for the period of the programme.
