BENGKEL
KURATOR MULTI-FACETED
Bengkel
selama seminggu khusus tentang praktis bidang kuratorial dalam konteks
perkembangan seni kontemporari dan keperluan pertukaran budaya antara
Asia dan Eropah telah dianjurkan oleh Goethe-Institute Jakarta dan
the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) pada 6 - 11 March 2006. Acara
telah dijalankan di Goethe-Institute Jakarta dan Selasar Sunaryo
Art Space, Bandung, Indonesia.
Seramai
18 orang kurator seni antarabangsa telah terpilih untuk terlibat
dalam program intensif ini. Malaysia telah diwakili oleh kurator/artis
Nur Hanim Khairuddin yang ditaja perjalanannya oleh Yayasan Kesenian
Perak.
Kurator
silang-budaya pada hari ini bekerja dalam suasana di mana hambatan-hambatan
kategori semakin menghilang. Namun, tanggungjawab untuk meluah aspek-aspek
spesifik bagi karya-karya seni untuk awam tetap serupa. Mengambilkira
situasi ini, kurator sebenarnya harus memiliki skil dan pengetahuan
untuk menyediakan struktur kerja yang memadai kepada khalayak seni
kontemporari. Bagi melanjutkan skil serta pengetahuan tersebut,
strategi-strategi baru diperlukan, seperti menaiktaraf informasi
serta perkembangan jaringan kuratorial silang-budaya di peringkat
inter-regional.
Oleh
itu, tujuan utama bengkel ini adalah bagi memfasilitasi informasi
tentang senario seni kontemporari Asia dan Eropah dari perspektif
kuratorial serta bagi membincang ide dan format-format baru yang
berpotensi untuk digunapakai dalam kerjasama kuratorial antara Asia
dan Eropah.
Kurator
dari 10 negara Eropah dan 9 negara Asia dipilih bagi memancar serta
membanding setiap dari profil professional kuratorial mereka yang
mana telah berkembang dalam pelbagai environmen historikal, sosio-politikal
dan budaya. Mereka bermesyuarat selama tiga hari di Jakarta yang
dianjur seputar kes studi praktis kuratorial melibatkan pertukaran
budaya. Para kurator kemudian bergerak ke Bandung untuk worksyop
praktikal dan lawatan ke pelbagai ruang serta institusi seni. Dr.
Hans-Georg Knopp, bekas direktor House of World Cultures di Berlin
dan kini General Secretary Goethe-Institut turut hadir di bengkel
pada 7 Mac. Rumusan hasil pertukaran serta pengalaman mereka dibentangkan
menerusi sessi ceramah untuk awam.

A
one-week workshop on curatorial practices in the context of contemporary
art developments and increasing cultural exchange between Asia and
Europe was organised by the Goethe-Institute Jakarta and the Asia-Europe
Foundation (ASEF) from 6 - 11 March 2006. Programs were carried
out at Goethe-Institute Jakarta and Selasar Sunaryo Art Space, Bandung,
Indonesia.
18
international curators were chosen to participate in this intensive
program. Malaysia was represented by curator/artist Nur Hanim Khairuddin,
with her traveling supported by the Perak Arts Foundation.
The
cross-cultural curator today is working in an environment where
boundaries of categories are disappearing. Yet, the responsibility
to convey specific aspects of works of art to the public has remained
the same. Considering this situation, the curator needs actually
more skills and knowledge to provide an adequate framework to the
audience of contemporary art. For extending these skills and knowledge
new strategies are needed, like enhanced inter-regional information
and the development of cross-cultural curatorial networks.
The
main aim of the workshop thus is to facilitate information on the
Asian and European contemporary art scene from a curatorial perspective
and to discuss the idea and potential implementation of new formats
of curatorial cooperation between Asia and Europe.
Curators
from 10 European and 9 Asian countries gathered to reflect upon
and compared their professional curatorial profiles which have developed
in a variety of historical, socio-political, and cultural environments.
They attended three days of meetings in Jakarta organised around
case studies of curatorial practices involving cultural exchange.
The curators then proceeded to Bandung for practical workshops and
for visits to different art institutions and spaces. Dr. Hans-Georg
Knopp, former director of the House of World Cultures in Berlin
and now General Secretary of the Goethe-Institut attended the workshop
on March 7th. A final public session in Jakarta presented the results
of their exchange and experiences.
