Workshop Statement

Open Bliss is a series of workshops illuminating new media art by CRUMB’ and the practice of curating hosted the online resource for curators of new media art. Each workshop responds to localcontexts, venues and people, and brings them into an international network. CRUMB excels at informal, dialogical social settings for professional development. crumbweb.org

This workshop will involve a discussion of curating as working with/in ‘zones of disturbance’ (instead of disturbance), and the outer and inner spaces of curating. Is curating always creating a ‘protective zone’. What about the equality of territories? A ‘daily paper’ will be produced at this event.
