Key Moments in the History of Curating provides a guide to
important turning points in the last 100 years of exhibition-making.

understanding of where we stand today, as well as to gain creative
insights from some of the innovative ideas of the past.
Through concrete case studies, the course aims to give
participants a grounding in the history of significant exhibitions as
well as to provide inspirations for future directions in curating.

Developing a Curatorial Concept
with Nora Mayr

We will look at the potential of narration and scenography for a
curatorial project as well as test different ways of visualizing ideas.
By moving through the research phases and gaining feedback
along the way, participants will develop a strong foundation

making and ways of thinking about curating contemporary art by
sharing a wide variety of innovative curatorial approaches that are
designed to inspire. Expanding Exhibitions aims to open up ways
of thinking about your curatorial practice from the white cube and
beyond: from boundary-pushing curatorial concepts, to exhibiting
outside the art space and working with other disciplines.

Curatorial Procedures: Contracts,
Loans and official documents
with Nora Mayr

with some of the most common contracts and
forms used when assembling exhibitions — customs
declarations / pro-forma invoices, gallery consignments,
and museum / biennale loan agreements. The course
will supply a number of examples, going over each one
in detail, as well as draw from texts that highlight the

Grant Writing
and Fundraising
with Karina Griffith
The art of grant writing involves conviction, imagination and
stamina. The key is to convince funding bodies that a) your project
fits their bill, b) you can achieve what you propose and c) only you
can do just that. This requires not only an understanding of your
own skills and talents, but good comprehension of needs and
desires of the people who will give you the resources you need.
At the end of this course, participants will have the
skills to create and outline for writing a grant proposal,
evaluate grants and calls for funding for suitability,
and initiate conversations with possible sponsors.
