Artists and Curators working together: how and with whom?

The seminar takes place at @kaapelitehtaankanttor Helsinki, Finland on 15th of February, 2024, from 10AM to 5PM.
The seminar in Helsinki is the second one of the Out of the Metropolis program, following the first seminar in Bodo, Norwayin the autumn of 2023.
The seminar focuses on the relationships between artists and curators. Exploring perspectives of power dynamics, care and sharing, the seminar will raise questions about how how artists and curators, as cultural agents shape, manage and nuture these collaborative relationships.The seminar is organised as part of the EU-project ‘Out of the Metropolis’, OOTM @outofthemetropolis which is a three year project that aims to explore and support insight and innovation in the field of co-creation and circulation of visual art, and in particular contemporary photography across borders. The project’s objective is to strengthen micro institutions and unconventional arenas for art in the peripheries by developing innovative strategies and methods for cross-border collaborative teams, co-production, and exchange of art, with particular focus on economic and ecological sustainability. It is initiated as a collaboration between DoubleDummy @doubledummy.studio (FR), The Finnish Museum of Photography @valokuvamuseo (FI) and NOUA (NO).
