Lottozero-Guest Curator for Textile Culture

Lottozero-Guest Curator for Textile Culture

Lottozero is looking for a guest curator for Textile Culture Net!
Starting June 2023 until July 2024, all 4 TCN curators and 4 guest curators will meet online monthly in order to define the yearly exhibition program, which consists of 4 online group exhibitions, conceived and designed to be presented on the respective Instagram platforms.
Each guest curator will present the theme of their curatorial proposal and the artists they have selected, and all other curators will be invited to respond with artworks from their collections or their creative network.
The exhibitions, based on different curatorial concepts but connected to textiles, are the result of a collective process, which gathers diverse curatorial approaches, confronted in a dialectical and constructive way.
The exhibitions program will start in September 2023 and will run until June 2024.
At the end of the project a publication will be realized both in printed and digital version, in order to collect the contents of the 4 online exhibitions.

CURATOR’S COMMITMENTS

  • Propose an exhibition concept, based on a selection of artists working with textile media, and/or fashion and textile design, following a specific digital format which has been developed during the previous TCN editions, and will be further developed and improved for the 2023/2024 edition.
  • Attend an online workshop held by German association BIWOC Rising, aimed at developing a diversity strategy, as a common and shared ground between the curators involved into the project (3h, in June 2023).
  • Propose artworks for the 3 exhibitions presented by the other guest-curators.
  • Attend 10 online meetings (1h, from June 2023 to July 2024) with the curators from TCN’s institutions and guest-curators (1 meeting to introduce the curatorial practice, 8 meetings to prepare the 4 exhibitions, 1 final meeting at the end of the project).
  • Publish the contents of the 4 exhibitions on his/her personal (or institutional) Instagram account.
  • Participation in the project as a guest curator will also be a way to forge closer relations with the inviting institution (Lottozero), with whom there will be some occasions of confrontation/collaboration on certain aspects, which will be better defined later.


REQUIREMENTS

The following requirements will be given priority in the selection process:

  • Curatorial experience in the field of textile art, textile design and fashion.
  • Having nationality and/or residence in non-European countries and having an in-depth knowledge of the non-European art scene, documented through projects/research carried out.
  • Having a curatorial approach that takes into account cross-cutting issues of inclusion and diversity, in particular gender balance.


FEE

The selected curator will receive a fee of EUR 3,000.
The fee will be paid in two installments, a deposit of 30% after signing the contract and the rest at the end of the project.
