The ever popular Speed Curating is returning and every afternoon there will be curators available for one on one sessions with artists.
You have the chance to read about the curators interests and experience in their bio below. On the day, you’ll have 15 minutes to talk about what you’re working on, how you think you could work together or just introduce them to your practice. The meeting will take place online and you will be able to share your screen to show your images or videos to the curator.
This fast-paced but friendly environment offers a chance for curators to meet artists they might never have come across, or to see new bodies of work in development. Multiple exhibitions and working relationships have developed from VAI’s Speed Curating events, and everyone walks away feeling the benefit of having discussed their practice with fellow professionals.
There are over 40 curators from varied backgrounds taking part. Some are associated with galleries, some work independently. Some will have specific research interests, others have broader curatorial interests. To make the most of your Speed Curating bookings, we advise you to read the curators interests and bio to avoid selecting a curator with vastly different interests to your own.
Curators hope to meet artists that make work that fits with their broad research interests. It’s essential that you identify the right curator for your practice. Some artists use the opportunity to solicit feedback on their work, however not all curators are comfortable doing this and it’s often not the best environment for it. (Clinics are designed for feedback and Q&A as you can send questions and your images in advance.)
