Positioning gathers past and present approaches, knowledges, and critiques within practices of the curatorial. In doing so, the symposium creates a space for dialogue between local and international contemporary art scenes and their practitioners to generate new opportunities for artists, curators and cultural workers in the Nordic-Baltic region and beyond.
Positioning is a platform for reflecting on the relationship between learning, curatorial thinking, exhibitionary practices and discourses around the curatorial. While the first edition took place in Helsinki, for this second edition PUBLICS, through its Centre for Curatorial Thinking, has developed partnerships in different cities: Helsinki, Malmö, Copenhagen, Göteborg and Stockholm are the places where the symposium is taking place. In Stockholm, Positioning is organised by PUBLICS, CuratorLab at Konstfack University and Iaspis.
Attendance at the symposium is free, but you will need to book a seat.
