ARTIM CALL: WORKSHOP: THE MAKING OF EXHIBITIONS

Call for everyone interested in exhibition making

Workshop: “The Making of Exhibitions”by Thibaut de Ruyter (France) architect, curator and critic

Application deadline: 13 June 2018, 00:00

Dates of the Workshop: 18 – 22 June, 10:00 - 18:00

ARTIM Project Space invites people interested in exhibition making to apply for the workshop lead by Berlin-based curator Thibaut de Ruyter and organized with support of Goethe-Zentrum Baku. Duration of the workshop is 5 days including a presentation of the end results.

The course is based on learning practical and everyday tools used by architects (model making, plans, simple graphic representations, vocabulary) in order to understand space and in particular exhibition spaces (from private galleries to museum via non-traditional locations).

The learning of those tools is a pretext to discuss “exhibition making” with the students, at both theoretical and practical level (from concept to press-release through graphic design and scenography). The students learn how to produce very simple models and implement afterwards their own project for a potential exhibition within the space. During that stage of the workshop the students are left free to deal with their own interest so that, at the end, a variety of exhibitions (solo or group show, contemporary art, applied art, biographical or historical) is being developed and shared within the group.

The course is intended to any person having an interest in exhibition making (artists, curators, architects, historians, designers, critics, etc). No previous experience as a curator being required.

Thibaut de Ruyter is a French architect, curator and critic, living and working in Berlin since 2001. During the last ten years he has organised exhibitions in (among others) the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt/Main, HMKV in Dortmund, EIGEN+ART Lab and CTM in Berlin, Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź and CRP/ in Douchy-les-Mines. One of his latest project is a traveling exhibition for Goethe-Institut in Eastern Europe and Central Asia: Die Grenze that adresse the border between Asia and Europe in former Soviet countries. His fields of interest move from new media via spiritism via to “exhibitions that are not exhibitions”. Most of his projects are linked by every day, pop or underground culture. He is, since 2007, a member of AICA-France.
