Artis and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, in conjunction with the Center for Contemporary Art, presented a panel discussion exploring research-based curatorial projects. Traditional programing formats at contemporary art institutions demand the fruits of curatorial research in the form of scholarly publications, exhibitions texts, catalogues, and the study that informs the institution’s programs. Yet, the high turnover of temporary exhibitions leaves little time for curators to pursue in-depth research. How do curators navigate such programming structures? What formats might better accommodate curatorial research? Panelists considered these questions and presented their curatorial work within diverse curatorial models that range from alternative programing platforms to large-scale biennials. Moderated by Artis Curatorial Associate and CCA Curator Chen Tamir.
