The Emerging Curators Retreat aims to attract emerging, talented, and diverse individuals looking to advance their artistic and curatorial skills. Participants will engage with the local art community and advance their curatorial careers through a series of talks, conversations, and presentations from professional curators, artists, and thinkers, as well through visits to museums, galleries, studios, and curators.

This retreat will focus specifically on Los Angeles’ local art scene. Conversations will be facilitated by the College’s staff and other professional curators.

The University of Edinburgh calls for paper for the triennial Joint East Asian Studies Conference (JEASC) that will be held from 4 to 6 September 2019.

The JEASC is open to members of the British Association for Chinese Studies, the British Association for Japanese Studies, the British Association for Korean Studies and non-members alike. They welcome participants from all countries and backgrounds.

Panel and individual paper proposals are invited from across the full range of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences that address topics related to Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, other parts of the East Asia region, or the region as a whole. Preference will be given to panels with a focus on cross-regional and intra-regional issues. Panels are expected to reflect the diversity of professions including, but not limited to, gender, ethnicity and career status. This will be taken into consideration during the selection process.

Will passersby stop to see it? Will curious people and neighborhood residents try to interpret it in their own way? #Trasparenze7 is looking for projects which are able to speak to everybody, regardless of their life conditions and level of education, capable of transforming any passerby into a spectator, maybe even into an active participant to the performance.

New Contemporaries Director, Kirsty Ogg said: “New Contemporaries celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2019. While we will take this moment to pause and reflect back on our incredibly rich history, it is important that we also remain responsive to the needs of emerging artists. Opening up our annual call to artists outside of formal, degree-awarding programmes has been a significant moment for us, and a way to publicly acknowledge that not all artists follow the same path when developing practice”.
