Artist-driven Curating and How it Could Help Galvanize a Screendance Movement

Posted on July 23, 2008 by

At the Screendance conference at ADF two weeks ago, I presented a paper that put forth an argument for the value of “artist-driven” curating in developing and galvanizing an art form.

Report on Screendance:State of the Art 2 at ADF

Posted on July 18, 2008 by

Last weekend I attended the second Screendance: State of the Art conference at the American Dance Festival at Duke University in Durham, NC. The topic for this year’s conference was CURATING THE PRACTICE/CURATING AS PRACTICE. There were about 20 registered participants, coming from all over the US and Europe, and we were a good mix of artist/makers, teacher/scholars, and curators.
