SUMMARY:Thinking through Space: Curatorial Methods and Tools [day one]
DESCRIPTION:Now this looks interesting: a two-day workshop (23-24 August) that offers a practical and reflective entry point into contemporary curatorial practice\, showing how an initial idea can evolve into a coherent\, site-responsive exhibition. Through a series of guided exercises\, attendees will learn how to map out a topic\, trace thematic threads\, draw connections between artworks\, and shape clear\, compelling curatorial concepts that respond to audience and context. There’s a physical element too; ideas can be translated into engaging exhibition designs by working with the architecture of the space as well as elements such as light\, sound and texture. \nIt looks ideal for aspiring curators but would also be useful for emerging artists. The workshop is led by Sharjah-based curator May Alqaydi\, whose curatorial practice “is shaped by a sensitivity to material\, place and narrative form\, focusing particularly on experimental exhibition formats and spatial storytelling that move between the visible and the concealed …” \nAll materials will be provided It’s free\, but spaces are obviously limited and pre-registration is essential.

SUMMARY:Curators Talk | Suheyla Takesh
DESCRIPTION:The first in a new series presented by The NYUAD Art Gallery\, in which curators working in the UAE and beyond discuss their approaches to curatorial practice. The aim is to survey the various individual positions and institutional models at work today\, offering a public arena to discuss questions that pertain to exhibition-making\, critical thinking\, artistic collaboration\, and beyond. \nFirst up is Suheyla Takesh\, currently a fellow at the al Mawrid Arab Center for the Study of Art and chief curator at the Barjeel Art Foundation collection in Sharjah. She’ll discuss her work with the Barjeel collection as a case study to investigate the phases of a collection’s evolution: what factors influenced its transformation? And what is the role of a private art collection like the Barjeel in the UAE’s wider cultural ecosystem? \nThis talk is presented in collaboration with al Mawrid. \n  \n
