Contemporary Curating Rethink: In the Context of Asia and Beyond is the main theme that runs through the CIT19 international conference. Centring on Taiwan’s cultural heritage, geographical location and historical background, the conference explores the history and methodology of curating, as well as the role and responsibility of the curator within the Asian context, while stimulating reflections on how “curating”, simultaneously in research, exhibitional and pedagogical roles, can lay out brand new contexts both effective and creative.
The agenda spans three interconnected threads: “transdisciplinary curating, the institution of art, and the educational turn”; “cross-regional / cross-cultural curating and geopolitics”; and “curatorial practice and the formation of art history.”
