A conference project led by MA curating students from Chelsea College of Art & Design, the University of Essex, and Sheffield Hallam University. The Contingency of Curation takes up three primary figures of the curator as the framework for the day's discussion. These include 'the autonomous curator and the institution', 'collaboration and authorship', and the curator as 'the agent of social change'. Speaking in a range of presentation formats, the conference moves across the terrains of art production, urban planning, art criticism, and art's reception, addressing the notion of the curator and the curatorial in its now, most pluralised form. We seek responses and reactions as to how an under-standing of these contingencies of curation demand, but may also create new modes of production for curatorial practice. Clore Auditorium, booking recommended.
