Description
Curator-Entrepreneur develops a current and dynamic creative profession, typical for the 21st century concerned with conservation, image, promotion: the curatorship. Curated commodities reflect the progress of the consumers’ consciousness towards expert-assisted purchase. Yet curating is a museum profession. University teaching focuses on art curating, not on the recent cultural-economic complex. C-E reforms curatorship, enabling its practitioners to operate productively with art and commodities of symbolic consumption, with many opportunities on the labor market. The activities of the project developed in this new paradigm attune the public to the fusion of curating with entrepreneurship, extend the visual artistic space, stimulate education in the field of image and intensify the changes on the labor market. Target groups: museum audience, involved in changing the paradigm of art/cultural consumption; the community of UNARTE students, engaged in current curating; specialists from local museums, as recipients of innovation; the artistic community. Main objective: MARe becomes a forum of multiplication/diversification of the museum audience throughout the country, by professionalizing curators as producers/cultural entrepreneurs and by linking art curating to the curating of commodities of superior consumption, into a technical and methodological entity, through visual education, strengthening the cultural field facing the current challenges. Specific objective 1: Development of audience, propelling the access to culture for around 15000 visitors, through 18 months of dynamic, interactive, diverse activities/exhibitions. Specific objective 2: Increase of mobility through the creative-curatorial platform: 40 young local artists, 40 students of UNARTE, 3 international artists, 22 Romanian curators, 2 curating workshops and 6 exhibitions. Specific objective 3: Enhancing curatorial-entrepreneurial skills: 2 MARe employees, 20 art professionals: 1 workshop,
