Postgraduate Programme in Curating
The Postgraduate Programme in Curating is conceived of as an exhibitionary, discursive platform which explores key areas of contemporary exhibition-making by way of praxis-oriented project work. Instruction modules, group activities, seminars, and lectures are conducted by an international selection of guest lecturers from various fields.
The programme focuses less on the "genius concept" of the exhibition planner as individual author—a highly controversial topic since the 1990s—and more on cooperative, interdisciplinary working methods, as employed in film productions or non-governmental organisations. Exhibition-making/curating means the creation of innovative structures for the presentation of cultural artefacts and contemporary discourse through interdisciplinary collaboration. In this field, art, digital media, design, and architecture intermesh in new ways.
ZHdK and Zurich
Zurich University of the Arts is amongst the largest art schools in Europe. Whilst firmly anchored in greater Zurich, our influence extends well beyond Switzerland to the wider international stage. As the cultural centre for art in Switzerland, Zurich provides a unique and vibrant cultural scene at the heart of Europe.
