Overview
Conceive Contemporary Exhibitions
Designed for authors, emerging curators, and gallerists, Curae is the new PhMuseum Online Masterclass focused on surveying the relevant aspects surrounding the planning, curation, logistics and commercial variables within the realm of contemporary exhibitions and gallery/artist relations.
Under the guidance of Niccolò Fano, founder and director of Matèria gallery in Rome, participants will work on the development of a personal curatorial concept and receive the tools to structure a coherent exhibition proposal. Through this Masterclass you will obtain a comprehensive understanding of exhibition design practices, research processes, archival standards, legal and bureaucratic frameworks and finalization requirements tied to the production of a solo/group exhibition.
At the end of the program, Niccolò Fano will select one or more participants to collaborate on the curation of a project centered around the dialogue between digital art, traditional mediums, physical space and the (decentralised) metaverse. To participate, simply fill in the form with your personal details, share a link to your portfolio and apply for free. If your application is successful, we will guide you to enroll in the program.
