So proud to be a. research assistant for An Institute for Curatorial Inquiry, at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre.
An Institute for Curatorial Inquiry
This Summer Institute intersects with Museums Without Walls, Conference & Exhibition, an inquiry into virtual art/institutions and communities at Queen’s University, 15–17 August (in-person and online).
Working with an expanded view of the curatorial—from making collections to simply making connections—we invite artists, cultural workers, students and community members to join in this week-long free event, through discussions, performances, exhibitions and workshops. The Summer Institute is anchored by six conversational panels that tentacle out to two workshops, five artist performances, a 24-hour read-in, a graduate student reading group and a family program, all located at Agnes the first four days. The final day takes place at the neighboring Feminist Art Residency (FAR), bringing participants outside the institution.
Mark your calendars; stay tuned for details and please join us! This event page is updated as other speakers and programs are confirmed.
Please direct questions to Alicia Boutilier, Chief Curator at alicia.boutilier@queensu.ca
