Hou Hanru at Utopian Display: on March 23 at NABA in Milan the second lecture on contemporary curatorial activities
Utopian Display is a lecture series, in its second edition, held at NABA - Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti di Milano. It started on the 16th of February, and will last in May 2005.
The lectures, organised by Marco Scotini and Maurizio Bortolotti, seek to investigate contemporary exhibition models, focusing attention on the potential relationships between artistic and social spheres.
The title, The Utopian Display, seeks to be a focal point around which to extend discourse on contemporary artistic practice and, at the same time, question the numerous possible interpretations that the invited curators intend to give to their work. In this way, the definition of «utopian display» is intended as something that expresses the political ideas or the imagination and the liberation of the individual in an artistic sphere, or it can be interpreted as «ideal» exhibition that each curator has as a model, or something else altogether.
The primary objective of this conference series is to attempt to trace a map of contemporary curatorial activity, with an enquiry into the current artistic landscape.
The conference series is also an educational support for the Department of Visual Arts at NABA.
Further lectures: Jens Hoffmann (13 April), Roger M. Buergel (4 May), Vasif Kortun (11 May).
