The Curatorial Programme at de Appel has been a space for curatorial innovation and experimentation since its inception. It has remained current and relevant throughout the decades by advancing cutting edge curatorial practice.
At a time when ethical concerns about sustainability and inclusion are raised, the persona of the jetlagged star curator is being called into question. In addition, the close collaboration with artists and the power dynamics between curators and artists have been much debated in art and academic institutions. In the forthcoming edition of the programme, curators will work more closely with artists; they will learn together how to share resources, processes and decision making. The focus will be geared towards establishing lasting relationships between the (curatorial and artist) collectives and planning for their sustainability.
