A combination of a residency and a research/project based program, which
will travel between Stockholm, Paris, Nicosia, Istanbul and Berlin.

Application Deadline
May 15, 2006

The new CuratorLab is an international one-year residency and a
research/project based program designed for emerging curators, critics,
artists, writers and theorists. CuratorLab provides a test bed for each
participant underpinned by an intense critical dialogue with an
international core-faculty, and invited curators, artists and theorists
and other experts who participate in seminars and discussions.
Participants are expected to develop the content of the program by
organizing special seminars on their research topics in collaboration
with the faculty of CuratorLab and international institutions.

From 2006 CuratorLab is a traveling program, meaning that participants
may choose to live where they wish as the seminars move between
Stockholm, Berlin, Paris, Nicosia and Istanbul between September 2006
and June 2007.

The program is structured into one or two-week intense residencies in a
city every month. Each residency will consist of a seminar with one or
several invited international guest speakers, as well as studio visits
and meetings with artists, curators, theorists and other professionals
of interest for the participants in each city. Participants will also be
expected to organize short public presentations in each city.

Projects
Each participant is expected to produce an individual or collaborative
project; the final form of the project, and where it is presented, is
decided by each participant in dialogue with their personal advisor, who
he or she has chosen. CuratorLab provides each participant access to its
extensive international network of cultural institutions and alternative
project spaces.

Collaborators 2006/2007
Collaborators with CuratorLab for 2006/2007 are Platform Garanti
Contemporary Art Center in Istanbul and its director Vasif Kortun,
Centre Culturel Suedois in Paris, Moderna Museet and its curator John
Peter Nilsson and Bonniers Konsthall and its director Sara Arrhenius in
Stockholm. CuratorLab has also together with five other institutions
been invited by the Manifesta 6 curators Mai Abu El Dahab, Anton Vidokle
and Florian Waldvogel to collaborate with Manifesta 6 in Nicosia in the
fall of 2006. CuratorLab will travel to Nicosia for at least two
residencies with the goal to produce a collaborative project to be
presented at Manifesta 6 in the late fall of 2006.
