Open Space welcomes applications from curators for the first Open Space
Curatorial Residency, a new, two-month curatorial residency taking place in
Istanbul between August 3-September 30. This residency will give one emerging
curator, with 1-3 years of professional experience, the unique opportunity to
spend eight weeks in Istanbul, working with artists, curators and art
organisations to develop a new project that will be presented in Istanbul and
London in Autumn 2019.
Following their selection by an international jury, the curator will be hosted
by the Huma Kabakci Collection and Open Space team members in Istanbul. They
will gain special access to the Collection and its archives, and will
participate in a dynamic weekly schedule that will include research, site and
studio visits, presentations, and workshops, in collaboration with acclaimed
Istanbul art institutions.
The resulting project, which can take the shape of an exhibition, publication
or discursive event, will draw on the curator’s experience of the Huma Kabakci
Collection and their exchanges with Istanbul-based artists, curators,
researchers and institutions. Open Space will also encourage curators to
consider Open Space’s 2019 programme theme “Space without spaces” which aims to
address a number of pertinent contemporary issues ranging from global matters
such as the hardening of borders in an uncertain political climate, when
developing their proposal. The project will be presented in Istanbul in
September 2019 and in London in November 2019. The residency includes travel,
accommodation and living costs.
The international Jury for the 2019 Open Space Curatorial Residency is: Alessio
Antoniolli (Director, Gasworks & Triangle Network), Julie Lomax (CEO, a-n
Artist Information Company & Chair of The Showroom), Kathy Noble (Curator and
Manager of Curatorial Affairs, Performa), Bige Örer (Director Istanbul
Foundation for Arts and Culture (IKSV), Director, the 2019 Istanbul Biennial),
Inês Geraldes Cardoso (Head of Programming and Production, Open Space) and Huma
Kabakci (Founding Director, Open Space).
Initiated by Inês Geraldes Cardoso, Open Space Head of Programming & Production.
