For April’s meeting at DAI, Grant Watson and Frédérique Bergholtz will be present to discuss matters of production and presentation regarding the upcoming DAI exhibition in September. The students are asked to formulate their thoughts on the exhibition and their work. The agenda set during last month’s meeting, of location, press, publication, timetable, budget, public programme and title will be directing the discussion.

Curating Academy is a yearlong course offered to second-year students of the Dutch Art Institute, that is taught by Grant Watson and Frédérique Bergholtz and coordinated by Tanja Baudoin. The course looks into methodologies of curating and closely studies examples from the practice of tutors and guests. The project will work towards making an exhibition for September 2013, with a contribution by each student. In monthly meetings, tutors and guests will unpack the nature of the ‘graduation exhibition’ and explore ways of working and presenting together.
