“O FUTURO DOS MUSEUS UNIVERSITÁRIOS EM PERSPETIVA”
Há muito que se tem procurado um destino comum para os museus da Universidade do Porto e, embora algumas iniciativas pontuais trabalhem nesse sentido, a verdade é que pouco se tem avançado no estabelecimento de consenso sobre uma orientação estratégica futura para este conjunto de museus. Procurando encorajar e participar na reflexão e no debate sobre a missão e os modelos de organização de museus universitários, o Curso de Doutoramento e Mestrado em Museologia da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto convida a comunidade académica e profissional na área da museologia e afins a participar no Seminário “O Futuro dos Museus Universitários em Perspetiva” que se centrará nos seguintes temas.
Local: Salão Nobre da Reitoria da Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal.
Datas: 28 e 29 de Novembro de 2013 _ http://seminariomuseusuniversitarios.wordpress.com/

THE INSATIABLE BUILDERS
an exhibition on the pleasures of building small architectures
The birth of a new project is always a happy moment, specially when it comes to fill a gap in our own needs, in this case, the need for a platform of debate around cultural issues.
When we heard about Urbanista.org issue 1, we felt that collaboration sounded natural.
Here is issue 2, with my reading of Lisbon Architecture Triennale. Enjoy it!
NEW book! The Curatorial : a Philosophy of Curating
The Curatorial A Philosophy of Curating _ Bloomsbury Academic
Stop curating! And think what curating is all about. This book starts from this simple premise: thinking the activity of curating. To do that, it distinguishes between ‘curating’ and ‘the curatorial’. If ‘curating’ is a gamut of professional practices for setting up exhibitions, then ‘the curatorial’ explores what takes place on the stage set up, both intentionally and unintentionally, by the curator. It therefore refers not to the staging of an event, but to the event of knowledge itself.
Editor: Jean-Paul Martinon
Preface: Irit Rogoff and Jean-Paul Martinon

Portuguese Curators : Box with 12 essays/interviews
A special edition / luxury box with 12 essays/interviews was carefully edited by Bruno Marchand for Curator´s Lab, and recently published by FCG.

read, read, read, Lisbon Architecture Triennale, books coming soon
Lisbon Architecture Triennale, books coming soon!
We are eager to read the new 6 books by Lisbon Architecture Triennale, and very proud to be part of one, with an essay on Aftermath and Resonance! our own curatorial project situated on a building burnt by an accidental fire, and then curated as an exhibition.
Waiting!: http://www.close-closer.com/pt/publicacoes
“The 2013 Lisbon Architecture Triennale will produce six special edition digital publications. Available online and for all e-readers, the books collectively intend to locate the themes and ideas behind Close, Closer into a broader global context.
The publications, each edited by the Close, Closer curatorial team will replace the traditional printed catalogue. While there will be printed matter, the Lisbon Triennale is pushing forward alternative publishing strategies to establish new formats for communication. These platforms respond to a more open environment for exhibitions and allow the content to be widely disseminated and economically produced.”
Soon available at iBookStore and AmazonKindle.

petit CABANON [Alternativa, Gdansk]
Petit CABANON (private version for Wyspa) exhibited at Labour and Leisure Exhibition, in the context of Alternativa Visual Art Festival 2012, curated by Aneta Szylak at Hall 90B, Wyspa Institute of Art in Gdansk, Poland. The physical installation consists of the reconstruction of the two sheds that Le Corbusier had in his garden: CABANON + the Work Shed. The two buildings were made of cardboard bricks, in a playful construction. The sounds cape inside both volumes would reproduce the atmospheres and summer conversations by Le Corbusier, Eileen Gray and their friends, as an evocation. http://www.alternativa.org.pl/

Scenography Expanding 3: On Curating
September 27 – 29, 2010
Festival Escrita na Paisagem and Centro de História da Arte e Investigação Artística (CHAIA), Évora, Portugal
In his 2008 Whitechapel Gallery talk, Boris Groys pointed toward „exhibition practice as the cure that heals the originally ailing image, that gives it presence, visibility; it brings it to the public view and turns it into the object of the public`s judgement. However, one can say that curating functions as a supplement, like a pharmakon in the Derridean sense: it both cures the image and further contributes to its illness“ .
The ambivalent gestures of curatorial practice in both „healing“ and, possibly, „infecting“ or „contaminating“ come into particular, – and contested – focus when the object that is exhibited is nothing more but the remnant of a past performative event. Can the scenographic object be „helped“ by the curators effort in order to achieve a status of autonomy beyond ist original co-authored mode of production? Or must it be transformed into another genre (installation) to be exhibited? Can we identify an intrinsic essence of the scenographic object in relation / in contrast to exhibition space and public viewing?
In the third and last symposium before the June 2011 Prague Quadrennial for Perfomance Design and Space (PQ), curators and artists from the performing arts, visual arts and spatial design disciplines are invited to enter into a transdisciplinary dialogue on the challenges of exhibiting the ephemeral, the fleeting, the immaterial – the performative event and the scenographic space.
Speakers include: Maria Federica Maestri (Director of Natura dei Teatri, Italy), Radivoje Dinulović (Scenographer and Theoretician, Serbia), Christian Teckert (Architect and Academic, Germany/ Austria), Katharina Schlieben (Curator, Germany) Joanna Warsza (Curator, Poland), Randy Martin (Theory, USA), Dorita Hannah (Architect and Scenographer, Curator for PQ Architecture Section, New Zealand).
The official language of the symposium is ENGLISH.

the task of the curator [Univ. California Santa Cruz]
Building a City for Women, Cali, Colombia 2007
May 14-15, 2010, University of California Santa Cruz
“The Task of the Curator: Translation, Intervention and Innovation in Exhibitionary Practice” will explore the roles of curators in relation to how objects are displayed in museums and galleries, considering a variety of disciplinary and professional perspectives. The title, inspired by Walter Benjamin’s theories of translation, brings attention to the often overlooked or naturalized labor of curators, which involves subtle but nonetheless transformative acts of framing and poetic interpretation. Presenters are encouraged to “look outside of the white box” toward new and alternative display methods.
